I am working on a new desktop client and I am currently weighing the options of using basic auth or Oauth. I like how basic auth keeps things simple for the user to register an account and since its a desktop app the credentials are stored on their machine. I am worried that oAuth is a bit confusing for users and the last thing I want to do is introduce a hurdle for my users when using the app.
So a few questions: 1. Is the goal to eventually shut off Basic Authentication, or will it always be around for backwards compatability 2. Am I not giving users enough credit in knowing and understanding the pin process? Have devs that have written desktop apps had any problems with users not understanding the registration process? Thanks! Kevin
