With oauth, would it be possible for another website to know the logged-in chess.com username of a visiting user? i.e using chess.com's authentication mechanism.

I submitted my application ~7 months ago and haven't heard back. I've tried to contact support many times about it, still nothing. Is there a more direct way to contact the dev support team?

If you haven't heard anything in that long you probably should submit again. The Dev team doesn't handle that process.

I applied and got a response within a couple of weeks. It's in place now on my leagues website to authenticate users, which allows league admin functions and future functions - https://www.chessleagues.org/tcmac
There are some quirks in the implementation (PKCE), but it worked in the end.
I recently submitted my request for OAuth access so I can implement a sign in with chess.com button on my web app. I've read different information about the amount of time it can take to get approved. Would really like to get it asap. Is there any way to expedite the approval process? Thank you.
