It's not that simple. Twitpic is usually used by 3rd party programs - not
directly. So for example with Tweetdeck, if they wanted to integrate Twitpic
I would have to use oauth to allow tweetdeck and then oauth again with
twitpic and every other service. In other words, a horrible
user experience - the same would apply to websites.

There isn't a way to pass around tokens between services as its
authenticated against their secret key. So you need to authenticate each of
them individually or use the passwords.

Anyway, basically you should at least store encrypted passwords as you can't
store a hash. Something like this would help;
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1095/. It isn't ideal but its better
than plain text.

I believe that snippet (or a variation of) is used in Pinax - so you may
want to look there to see how they did it. It was discussed at the sprints
at EuroDjangoCon, Prague last year.
