Yes, you can find this special delegation by looking up the specific OAuth API. OAuth access usually limits what the other can do, some providers give you access to logs and you can limit and review scopes on each access token.
- Spivak 9y agoThis isn't delegation of access to other people, this is delegation of identity to applications. Someone with your API token is still you -- just with restricted permissions. Until one can go into their Twitter account and create completely separate sub-accounts below their own with different emails and passwords people are going to share credentials.
- zaarn 9y agoYou can delegate to applications which other people are using, I don't see why that should be a problem. Plus an API token is more trackable than just sharing your password. It would be an improvement over current.
