You would need to have Twitter authorize you to access their account then log their account info on the call back. |

opauth is an incredibly useful tool _ thank you so much for putting this up.
Question: i'm using the user email address as a way to detect which user logged in, which is fine for Facebook, Google and Github; providing the user used the same email address on any of these providers, he is recognized.
But Twitter does not return the user email address, which is ennoying because I don't see any way I could match a user that would have register using his facebook account, and who tries to log in via his twitter account. I've looked in the Twitter raw response and I don't see any field that could be used to reliably identify a user who would have previously logged in via Facebook/G+ or Github.
As far as i know, the only unique identifier Twitter uses is the "nickname", which does not exist in the other providers response.
What would be a good work around?
