How can I use Twitter authentication to allow users to sign in to my website (for example, by using, for example, the "Sign-in with twitter" button on my website)?
Any site references or APIs would be useful.
You need to use Twitter's OAUTH capability. Read Twitter's Implementing Sign in with Twitter documentation on their developer website.

I am trying to implement social media login with AWS Cognito (Mobile services)for iOS app.AWS directly supports login with Amazon, Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. But i want to implement instagram login with AWS Cognito. How can I achieve this. Please look at the Screen Shot,
In the screen shot you will see provider sections like Amazon,facebook, google and Twitter and the rest of the three are for other. Please let me know which one will work for INSTAGRAM login in rest of the three provider OpenID, SAML and Custom. And how to implement it??
Unfortunately there is no out of box support for Instagram, so your best bet is to setup Instagram as Custom provider. Please refer to this doc and blog to learn about setting up custom provider.
Basically your app needs to interact directly with Instagram to get Instagram User's unique id. That id can then be used as developer user identifier in GetOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity to get Cognito Identity Id and Token.
You can take a look at auth0, maybe this meet your requirements.
The instagram has stopped supporting authentication. You can use Instagram Basic Display API allows users of your app to get basic profile information, photos, and videos in their Instagram accounts.
Check below links -
1)https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api
2)https://www.instagram.com/developer/
They mentioned, "Authentication — Instagram Basic Display is not an authentication solution. Data returned by the API cannot be used to authenticate your app users or log them into your app. If you need an authentication solution we recommend using Facebook Login instead".
when click on linkedIn button from my app linkedIn redirect to linkedIn App
If app is not install that time get the message please install the linkedIn.
I want to simple SignIn with LinkedIn like google SignIn.
So please give me proper response.
Try using LinkedIn iOS SDK
it provides
Single sign-on (SSO) authentication, in conjunction with the official LinkedIn mobile application.
A convenient wrapper for making authenticated calls to LinkedIn's REST APIs.
Deeplinking to additional member content in the official LinkedIn iOS app.
A sample application that demonstrates all of the SDK's features.
All the tutorial I found explains how to tweet and show an alert message if users cannot tweet.
What about if user hasn't logged in to twitter yet and I want to help user logged in to tweeter.
Basically we want to allow user to sign up to our services via facebook and twitter. We've taken care of facebook. Now we need to so it for twitter.
This are samples of tutorial I found
http://www.raywenderlich.com/5519/beginning-twitter-in-ios-5
I don't want to tweet. I just want to login first so I can store the users' twitter id on my database allowing it to save bookmarks, etc..
All I see is https://dev.twitter.com/docs/ios. It's not clear whether we have to compute the sig manually, do we have to open safari or what.
Did you go through api documentation on twitter integration to ios?
Here is a similar question.May be this will help you
If you want your users to login with their twitter accounts, you will have to register your application with Twitter to obtain a key to sign your requests. You can read more about this on Twitter Developer Page
I'm currently using OAuth to authenticate people with their twitter (twitter gems) acount in my application. The problem is that for people who aren't connected or who have various accounts.
So that's my question, is that possible, to ask user their login/password to link their twitter account on my application ?
Thanks
It is no longer possible to connect to Twitter's API using Twitter credentials. Twitter's public stance on this is that you should -never- provide your Twitter credentials to anyone else, ever. This is part of their rationale for implementing OAuth.
Even if you had the user's Twitter password, you couldn't validate that it was actually their password, nor could you access their Twitter account with it through the Twitter API.
Your best bet would be to look into devise and omniauth. I've gotten it to work this way. Omniauth also allows to link to several accounts. Be it, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
I'm sure it's entirely possible to ask users for their Twitter login/password on your application. It's a very bad practice though, as OAuth avoids the need for client applications to ever touch a users credentials. I suggest setting up an authentication/authorization system that maintains a login/password and then allows connecting multiple OAuth accounts via an AuthenticationStrategy model or the like. Ryan Bates did a few Railscasts on the subject:

I want to create an web application that will link up a student's facebook, twitter and orkut accounts all under one shed. Its like connecting all the students within a college, to login into the web app, the userid will be the unique studentID provided by the college
itself.
Now, once a student has logged-in, he can open his facebook, twitter and orkut a/c in the same window, lets say under tabs. How can i do that??
I mean how can i pass a student's Facebook's user-id and password to facebook server and if user authentication is done, then show the student his facebook wall.
I am very confused and don't know how to deal with this.
Storing username and passwords is not a very good idea. Neither Facebook nor twitter supports it through API.
For Facebook integration use the OpenGraph protocol with any SDK that Facebook provides, like Javascript SDK. Mogli is a ruby wrapper for OpenGraph API
For Twitter, there are multiple options like John Nunemaker's Twitter gem. Use that to talk to Twitter API.
Ultimately, it comes down to the architecture of your application. You can start by creating models like 'FacebookConnection' or 'TwitterConnection' and linking them to your 'User' model.
Solving it easy, just make the link open twitter/facebook. if they are signed in there already, their homepage will show, otherwise they will be prompted to enter user/pass.
To integrate your application with those platform, each platform got it's API and connect method, with this you won't need the user password be stored in your app. You instead will, twitter as an example, create a twitter application that communicate with twitter's API, and then redirect the user to twitter asking twitter to grant your application some access to the signed in user account, almost the same as you will sign in with your google account here on stackoverflow.
To do the communication with each of those platform, refer to the API/Connect documentation they provide and implement it in your web application. Don't reinvent the wheel, most of the communication functionality will be already coded in an easy to use library, whether for rubyonrails or most other development frameworks/languages.
look at facebook connect, oath (for twitter) etc instead of storing passwords
divs/iframes with some kind of tab control (jQuery?) to handle toggling of what should be visible.
