At some point, I was starting to perceive FB connect as this holy grail that would finally bring some convergence and eliminate multiple logins and so forth. Of course, there are alternatives like OpenID, Google Friend Connect but they seem to be on the fringe still in terms of adoption and usage.
I run a site where the only way to sign up (as yet) is using FB connect, primarily to improve the authenticity of members (and it also reduces fake profiles by order of magnitude).
This backlash is definitely making me question if it's the right thing to do anymore.

- TheBurningOr 16y agoI think purely from a strategic perspective you would definitely not want to have FB Connect as your only login. The people quitting FB right now are a tiny percent, but they seem to represent a disproportionate sampling of the early adopters that will drive the growth of your business. By limiting your sign up to FB connect only you have essentially blocked many of your early adopters from signing up.
