As we all  know, the Twitter now do not allow any app to save your password  and  app is allowed for access only after OAuth clearance . Now all the Twitter clients which do not use OAuth no longer work.

Well one such client is pino which isn't updated after oauth took twitter. So here is a guide to do so via supertweet.net

Steps -

1. Go to supertweet.net and sign in with twitter .

2. Then you have to register the application - i entered deatils of pino .

 

3. Then you can click on activate .

 Once you click on activate and enter password for supertweet.net ( this isn't your twitter password ) .

4. Open Pino and either add a new account or edit an existing one and enter the following info for the new account:

Username: your Twitter username

Password: your supertweet.net password before

Service: Other

Api proxy or other service: http://api.supertweet.net/1/

If you enter http://api.supertweet.net/ then your direct messages will not work . 

Now you can use pino again...

Note - There is a developmental version 0.3 of pino ( at time of writing this ) which supports oauth directly still stable version is 0.21 which doesn't support oauth...
