After all the confusion about sites storing Twitter usernames and passwords and using them maliciously (twply specifically). I thought I would show proof that TwitterLeague does not store usernames or passwords. I literally give your username and password to the Twitter API to confirm that you are who you say you are at the login stage, then they are then never used again (until you login next). I don’t even store usernames, literally just your user ID which is a unique number Twitter (and TwitterLeague) uses.

To prove it I have a screenshot of the first few records from the TwitterLeague database:

I know that people still get concerned and this isn’t trying to convince you I just wanted to keep all my work open and honest. If you have any questions please contact me and I will help.

Thanks

Ollie
