SMM Tools • App Password or Oauth for Bluesky?
Some work needs to be done before App Passwords can even remotely be retired. Make that a lot of work - none of these multi-platform tools have implemented it OR the two that did have not implemented Oauth for different PDSs.

- swat.io/en/ can't log in - my free account seems to be gone so I have to start over on this one?
- sendible.com my free account here seems to have expired as well
* By "sorta" I meant that it opens specifically a Bluesky Oauth path which means that it can't be used to log in with another PDS. I have accounts with Blacksky, Eurosky and others BUT because of the choices made here, it looks like I can't use those.
I know it's possible to get this right in a decentralized manner that allows for alternate PDSs but I don't know what resource to point people to in order to correct this (I know https://semble.so/ has done it correctly if anyone needs an example.)
So some work has to be done a lot of places still for there to be less reliance on App Passwords.
