I'm assuming he's talking about using Facebook Connect, which is based on Oauth, so the user wouldn't have to share their Facebook credentials with his site. (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web#login http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web#login).
I agree with you that sharing your Facebook credentials or your email credentials (especially your email credentials) with another site is foolishly stupid.
- desigooner 16y agoI understand that user doesn't share credentials but usually, with facebook connect, the only method available to connect is where the site grabs a ton of information from facebook (name, email, profile interests, etc.) .. I'm not so sure I'd want to share it unless there's a reason to it.. e.g. Huffington Post asks for basic info (name, profile pic, gender, user id, list of friends and then some), access to my newsfeed, interests and likes, and my current city .. this is only to comment on a post .. it seems like overkill to me and as a result i wouldn't really use facebook connect in this instance.
