Can't delete my oauth app in my developer account !!!
Hey Guys,
I realized that my oauth 1.0 consumer credentials where stored somewhere and I have to revoke (preferably) delete the previous app. I can't believe it that Zotero does not have any way to do those!!!! What should I do?

We'll provide a way for the owner to revoke an application so it can't be used anymore though.
Oauth generally just creates a standard way to authorize and exchange a key so that applications do not ask for user passwords and can offload more pieces to standard libraries rather than implementing the entire thing for every service they want to interact with. The application credentials do not provide special access to anything.
They can't unilaterally do anything with it.
This standard was designed for applications that had no expectation of being able to strongly secure their keys. The only problem would be if we needed to block it for abuse and you were caught up in the block, but that's not an issue if you're not longer using it.
Thank you
