Can OAuth be used to login to a consumer website?.. I am sorry if I haven't put the subject correct. But let me try to explain what I am trying to achieve. I will explain this using the example of www.stocktwits.com
So as we know that one can login to www.stocktwits.com using twitter username and password, and the advantage that stocktwits have by making a user to sign in using the twitter username and password is 1) Everytime a user enters his twitter username and password in www.stocktwits.com, stocktwits can access the users protected resources from twitter. 2) stocktwits can create a profile for that user within the stocktwits for that user using his twitter username, like letting the user creates his portfolio. First Question: Is www.stocktwits.com is good candidate for implementing OAuth as a consumer and twitter as a service provider? If the answer to first question is yes, Second Question: If stocktwits implement OAuth then isn't it every time a user has to go to stocktwits, and stocktwits have to ask the user to "sign in with twitter" and it will take the user to twitter page where user has to enter his username and password, and then user has to say yes to allow access to stocktwits to access his resources. Isn't this complicates thing. Third Question: How will stocktwits in OAuth case will allow user to create a portfolio, because in this case stocktwits will no longer have a username to save the portfolio against.
