Don’t lose that app! If you haven’t updated your Twitter app to use OAuth, it won’t work any more. In order to increase security, Twitter has killed support for all basic user authentication in favour of OAuth from today, that many are wittily calling the ‘OAuthcalypse’. Twitter has posted a help page for anyone needing support in updating their app, and many devs have been working over the bank holiday (nothing new there) to ensure their precious work isn’t lost.
Twitter has also posted an article on the demise of basic authentication to explain the change to all Twitter users.
