We Don’t Want Your Twitter Password!
As we’ve made evident before, we’re strong opponents against the storage of Twitter’s plain-text passwords, especially when they aren’t needed. For this reason, as of today, we’re removing the need to store your Twitter password for everything but auto following, auto unfollowing, and auto replies.
You still need to create a SocialToo account to use the services, but this means you can sign up, as well as edit your existing account, and exclude your Twitter password if all you want to do is:
- Get the nightly stats e-mail
- Create Surveys
- Vote on Surveys
- Redirect to your Facebook profile
In addition, you do not need to have auto follow or auto unfollow enabled to get the e-mails. So if you or your friends were waiting to join because you were hesitant on giving your Twitter credentials, now you can be at ease. We’ll be slowly improving the UI over the coming days to accommodate for this new improvement.
Smart move and way to help people feel better about things.
