My personal recommendation is to drop third-party logins and allow users to sign-up via usernames (without emails). That means you need to deal with "lost password with no way to recover" situations and spam but it's still better than third parties controlling the most important aspect of your application.
- tyingq 9y agoFB integration, though, might be nice for initial import of friend data that's already there.
- robinhood 9y agoYou can't import ANY data from your friends from Facebook. Facebook doesn't allow to.
- sogen 9y agoReally?!
- confounded 9y agoThis has been the case for many years.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoDamn. That's not surprising, but it is disappointing.
- erik-g 9y agoThat's true, but you can see if any of your FB friends are also using the same service! 'Importing' isn't ok, but verifying via API is ok.[0] [0]: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/common-scenarios https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/common-scenar...
- robinhood 9y agoExactly. Excellent point. Moreover, you can't import any of your Facebook contacts anyway, so it's pretty pointless, and I hate relying on third parties.
- codewritinfool 9y agoI actively avoid sites that offer only FB logins.
- HeavyStorm 9y agoI've deleted my FB and have no desire to recover it. Any service that's FB only can count me out. (yeah, I can create a dummy account for that purpose alone, but I rather not bother)
- elandybarr 9y agoPLEASE PLEASE have a non-FB option. I got added by someone else to a Facebook group that eventually went on a troll raid. I rarely go on Facebook and didn't even participate in any troll raids. Just from being in the group, my account was disabled. I have been locked out of my apps for three weeks and Facebook hasn't answered any appeal I sent them.
