Support OAuth

 

  • Support OAuth

    If last.fm supports OAuth then users won't have to give their passwords to 3rd party services.

    Users also get the ability to de-authorise individual third party services rather than having to change their passwords and update every other service/app that they use.

It seems like it's basically a way of specifying a second password that gives limited access to your account, which you can use for apps that need some write access without giving away the keys to the kingdom. Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

    Our API supports an authentication system which is very similar to OAuth. A lot of apps still ask for passwords, though. We're working on ways to try and coerce application authors to move over to using passwordless auth,
