Why the Twitter app needs the time set correctly to work?
I want to know two things
-how the twitter app discovers my time is incorrect
-Why it needs me to have the correct time..
Usually I rant but im sure u all hate Twitter just as much as i do..
Part of the OAuth protocol requires a timestamp, which needs to be within the same 5 minutes of the Twitter server. If the timestamp is out of these bounds, Twitter returns HTTP 401 Unauthorized responses and nothing works.
My first guess is to prevent authentication and MFA issues for non-technical users.
