Although it is possible to use the same consumer key and secret for multiple Twitter
accounts, it is recommended that you setup one App under each Twitter account, in

you can go back into that user and setup another App instance. If Twitter revokes
an App instance, Twitter will not prevent you from setting up another App under
a different name
