prefer OAUTH in favour of "normal Login" and redesign warnings (WAS: use ssl with OAUTH)

[skyper]

Under communication Preferences using OAUTH it says that the passwd is still once transmitted as plain text.

Either this message is wrong or OAUTH should use ssl as the server provides it now.

Thanks a lot

At least in German the warning below the pw line states that oauth uses a safe connection. What is meant with safe ?

[stoecker]

"Secure" is the "S" in SSL.

[skyper]

Why does JOSM warn about a secure connection ?

Think the bottom box should rather say "Note" or "Info" but not "Warning: using secure connection".

At least in German it is that way.

[stoecker]

If I remember right it does not warn about a secure connection, but about the fact, that JOSM connects to webspace emulating a user access.

Replying to stoecker:

If I remember right it does not warn about a secure connection, but about the fact, that JOSM connects to webspace emulating a user access.

You are right, but I think it is misleading if you warn about one secured login and on the other hand only have the same word "warning" on the "normal" login methode which should be disabled or at least been moved to the right that oauth is the default behaviour.

Also a link to oauth on your first upload would be nice and the warning about unsecure connection should be highlighted in this window, too.

Thanks
