This is the result of fixing a bug. Until recently, we'd 
give a token back in response to a request from a previously auth'd app who 
provided key, secret and a frob. For security reasons, this was bad 



 


So, we don't do that any more. If you 
store the token, the user won't to have to give their permission again. If you 
don't, then they will.


 


However, we are planning on improvements to the user 
experience of the auth flow soon, so even if you don't want to (or can't) 
store tokens, it won't seem as jarring for users.

I'm not 
  seeing it. :(

I tried deleting my cached token and reauthenticating, 
  then using and 
reusing the app, and it's working as 
  expected.
