What is 'access_token_secret' good for? #57

As far as I can see, nothing has changed in this area, but on my new box, I can't get github login working because I get this error:

Field 'access_token_secret' doesn't have a default value

This field is never set and isn't nullable either. What's the purpose of this field? I'm sure I'm missing something, seems to happen quite often to me these days :walking:

We should probably set it to NULL by default.

That field is present in case when you want to integrate more social providers (Like twitter or Facebook) as they require the secret token to do any actions on behalf of the user.

I'll set this to NULL for right now but that column has no purpose in existing application at the moment.
