Question

I just wanted to make sure I had this understood correctly.

When I authenticate a Twitter account, I am given back the access_key and access_secret.

If I want to permanently retain this user’s Twitter account authentication between logins, do I store the access_key and access_secret in the database with the user’s account info, and then load those 2 tokens into the session whenever this user logs back in for API access without authenticating with Twitter services upon each login?

Thanks guys

Looks like that’d be a yes. I ended up finding a helpful article
