Sign in with oAuth where Twitter.com is blocked
In two days, Twitter will start to shut down basic authentication on their API. The only way to connect to the API will then be by using oAuth. This will force anyone who wants to use a Twitter web app to give that app access to their account. Every app has to redirect them to Twitter.com to do that.
However, in some places Twitter.com is being blocked – by censoring governments or overly zealous system administrators. That means that users in those places can no longer use Twitter. But as an app developer, you can quite easily build a workaround for some of those users.

This week, Twitter has announced that it’s changing the way people sign in to a method called oAuth. From a security point of view, the new sign in system offers several advantages.
However, users in censored countries like China and Iran will no longer be able to use Twitter through the web. Until now, Twitter has not yet come up with a solution for this.
