Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Authenticate displays Authorize screen and on reload it Authenticates and continues to callback

[Matt Harris]

Hey,

The authenticate flow will display a login screen in a number of situations:

* if the user isn't logged into twitter.com
* if the user hasn't allowed the application access to their account before
* if you pass the force_login or screen_name parameter to the authenticate
endpoint
* if the user has revoked access to the application
* if the requested permission level is different to the one the user
originally allowed

Is it possible any of those situations are happening?

Best,

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Authenticate displays Authorize screen and on reload it Authenticates and continues to callback

[mike_f1]

I have the exact same issue, but am using C# and the Twitterizer library.

Also, I can't seem to prevent the Authenticate pop up appearing and asking 
for permission despite the app already being authorised for this user and 
the user already signed in to Twitter. Checked by logging into twitter and 
going to Applications - I 'allowed' it by using Authenticate as per 
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/sign_in_with_twitter the first time, but it 
still pops up every time since.

Is it something to do with how the App has been 'allowed' access? Do I need 
to 'allow' the app using the authorize URL first then using the authenticate 
url for future requests?

Must be doing something wrong but I can't see what, can anyone shine any 
light on this please?
