[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth Authenticate vs. Authorize (force_login)

Does authenticate actually authorize the app to perform operations on behalf of the user? My understanding is the user must first authorize the app and then the app can send them through authenticate in the future as a login check. If the user never approves the app in an authorize operation, I

@andy: oauth/authenticate is not signed other then with SSL. You are just passing the request token to Twitter. @aaron: authenticate and authorize both result in access tokens that allow you to act on behalf of the user. The first time a user goes through authenticate they authorize the

Then use authenticate. It accomplishes the same effect of authorize. Does it? My notes say that authenticate leaves the user logged into twitter if they weren't before and that authorize doesn't. For my purposes, I'd like to force the user to specify their twitter account and password even if

That is true. Authenticate currently leaves the user logged in. I would prefer that get fixed rather then adding force_login to authorize as I view leaving users logged in as a security risk. Apparently Twitter does not: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1070 On Mon, Dec 28,

The difference (to my understanding) is that Authenticate does not authorize the app. We need to have the app authorized but want to give the user the chance to choose which account to login with (and Authorize). Ideally, twitter state would not be effected, and user could authorize an app with

The difference (to my understanding) is that Authenticate does not authorize the app. Huh? Whether I use authorize or authenticate, my app can tweet etc on the user's behalf. What, exactly, do you think that authenticate and authorize do? I think that both can give my application a token

Thanks Abraham - I understand this is the current limitation, however I think there is a need for the foce_login to be available with the authorize function. The authorize landing page is confusing to users who want to sign-in with an account that is different from their latest session. The
