somewhat, shocking. i guess i'll be moving away from Oauth, feels like a relief and scary at the same time. what are some good alternatives?

[Robin_Message]

And now we have N+1 standards.

[rmoriz]

there are no popular alternatives. Either you are super smart and design one from scratch… or you stick with OAuth and hope that some of the addressed problems will be resolved.

We need an open open-auth for the proleteriat by the proletariat!

[rmc]

Just stick with 1.0a?

And if you use Python, rauth will make the experience much easier: https://github.com/litl/rauth/#readme.

If you're consuming an API you use whatever the platform decides on. In that case, this library is helpful. However, I think the real open question is: if you are providing an API, what do you choose?

[adrianoconnor]

I think at this point you choose either OAuth 1.0a or to roll your own. If it's not in your future to be a public API, I'd go with rolling your own if you are comfortable writing that kind of code.
