How in the world is logging in using facebook more secure than email. People can create a facebook account people can create an email.
Author is fooled into false sense of security around facebook profiles. A facebook account can be just as fake as an email address.

- mandelbrotwurst 9y agoWhile that is correct, and I would also personally prefer that we continued to use e-mail based authentication for other reasons, Facebook does have measures in place now that make it more difficult to create loads of fake accounts. Specifically, they now require a phone number to create an account. Getting a new phone number is more difficult than creating an e-mail address, so this will prevent at least some of the fakes.
