In thinking about applications I'd like to build, I'd don't want to make people authenticate through my app. There's no reason for people to trust me with their pasword, and I'd rather not even know it, so that I can't possibly leak it.

In the web links, I've included a couple of links to auth APIs that work more in the style I'd like to see.
