Currently gwibber uses an embedded web browser to handle the authorization, it doesn't see any passwords. However, there are plans to remove the gwibber accounts dialog completely and use a more system wide solution, which should handle oauth much better. I marked this as won't fix, because the tool in question should be removed completely.
