I could say that when I started coding this OSM's OAuth support wasn't actually released but the more honest answer would be that doing it this way was easiest and hence quickest. I wanted to get something out there so that we can try this out and see how it goes. If you don't want to enter your details that's fine and understandable. The code is open source and available on github so anyone can add that support but I'll probably do it before long if noone else does and it's stopping people from signing up.
