Aren't there some sites that allow Twitter login as login for their site? I wonder if you keep the same token and can identify as them.

Tbh I haven't done anything like this on a technical level yet, so maybe it's not possible.

I don't think they use handle as a profile identifier.

Nah, they use a unique identifier other than your handle because you can change your handle.
