Again, I'm going to assert that this is bunk -- The XBox (a set-top box) connects to NetFlix using a flow exactly as described in OAuth 1.0a (though not using OAuth as the underlying crypto), and I've never seen a single complaint. Search around. There aren't any. It works brilliantly, and is *easier* than entering your password because you don't even need to know your NetFlix account name (or which email address you used to sign up) in order to make it work. > Just because we as technical minds find it intuitive enough doesn't mean that > my grandmother will. No. What I'm saying is that technical minds *don't* find it intuitive, because we notice the redirect. My grandmother doesn't notice the redirect. She thinks it's totally natural. What she doesn't find natural is yet another site asking for her password, because she's not stupid, and she's heard of identity theft. b. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OAuth" group.
