I just need to add my voice to the chorus: OAuth really, really sucks.

I don't understand what problem it solves. A malicious app (native or web) can find a way to get your password, period. A well-behaved app can have your password and do no harm. And, practically speaking, I don't know any real person who's had a problem that has been solved by the existence of OAuth.

OAuth is just a massive pain in the rear end.
