I just read on /r/the_donald about a new reader for this site that persists your authentication credentials.

While this person could have the best of intentions and is just trying to be helpful. Please understand this is a security concern for those who wish to maintain the integrity of your user credentials. As a 25 year software engineering professional with a background in security. If I was inclined to spoof your user account, I would build a kick ass app you could not resist.

Please, be patient. Only use readers or apps that this website has approved and verified safe.

Mods, it is perfectly acceptable to request source code and put these apps through a code review process to verify proper conditions are met. If you need help with identifying these potential issues issues feel free to reach out to me and I will provide a resume, work history and references.

Please, please, please refrain from authenticating to this site via a third party app.

Please support this message by pushing it to the top or have mods put out a sticky notification
