FWIW, you could change the account name to something descriptive (like "dooglusbot"), then we can all easily identify it on the recent tab.
Is that only done through the API or is there a web interface for changing the display name?
You can do it with either. The /account/rename API call will do it, and the red & white portrait icon under the chat in the web view will do it too.
Might there be any plans to add username/password as an alternative method to access my account (rather than just knowledge of the access key)?
There is another service that allows both -- either the "low security" method where the URL must be bookmarked/remembered (just like with BitcoinVideoCasino) as well as the ability to use a username/password. That seems to work well when as a compromise, otherwise I'm uncomfortable letting anyone watch me play or snap a photo as the account_key is sitting there in plain view.
Not at this time. I know a number of people have asked for it but the other programmer and I believe the account key to be quite secure (when played from a private place). A username/password isn't really any more secure, as you're just trading one insecurity (public viewing of your account key) for another (the security of your email, which generally isn't very secure).
We are talking about a couple alternatives. Perhaps we can optionally allow people to set a password, but if you lose the password you're out of luck (we won't store any personally identifiable information). We'll explore some possibilities with this, so stay tuned.
Also, on the site the old Twitter account screen name is still being used, @BTCVideoPoker ... whereas the current Twitter account is
