Starting from today (August 16th, 2010) Twitter will start deprecating “Basic Auth” (3rd party applications authentication with plain username & password) and will start moving all 3rd party applications to OAuth.

What it means for you is that you need to verify that your Topify account is OAuth enabled. To do that, just visit our OAuth page. (if you never provided us your Twitter account password, most chances are that you are already OAuth enabled)

Switching to OAuth has many benefits with more security and control for you is the biggest one of them. Once you enable OAuth on your Topify account, we will no longer store your password. Another benefit is that you can always revoke our access from the connections settings page on Twitter, if you need to.

Please let us know if you need any help with this process.
