This question has been raised before. We have the same issue for our sports chat sites.
I would have preferred to have the user log in each time an oauth request is made as it's frustrating when people contat us at support because their "in chat" twitter posts aren't appearing only to find the posts are being made but to someone else twitter accounts who was using the computer before and even though the browser was closed Twitter automatically sued this account when we sent the oauth requests. It's a big problem and a choice should be offered to the developer to force logout before an oauth call if this is the process flow they want to implement.

Isn't this a security breach? Twitter will any how ask the user to signout if the user does not wish to connect to your app with the logged in account.Then he will be shown the login page and after successful authentication user will be redirected back to your app (like normal flow) On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 6:01 PM, Gary Zukowski <ga...@tweetmyjobs.com> wrote: So there's no way to automatically do this?

Our users may have more than one Twitter account they want to authenticate/register, and I want to make sure they are forced to put the correct credentials, and not just click "accept" for the currently logged in account.
