Currently gwibber uses an embedded web browser to handle the
authorization, it doesn't see any passwords.  However, there are plans
to remove the gwibber accounts dialog completely and use a more system
wide solution, which should handle oauth much better.  I marked this as
won't fix, because the tool in question should be removed completely.

Title:
  Gwibber doesn't use webbrowser to authenticate twitter, instead asking
  users to put in password into the application

Status in Gwibber:
  Won't Fix
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

  Gwibber has no accounts. I am setting up a twitter account. I clicked
  authorize.

  What happens:

  A little twitter web page opens in the gwibber application and asks
  for my username and password

  What should happen:

  I expect my webbrowser to open a new tab with the twitter "authorise
  this application" page. I have already signed into twitter on my web
  browser.

  The point of OAuth is so applications don't have to save passwords,
  however i can't know if gwibber is saving my password.
