Only reason I still have a FB account and not simply a messenger account is spotify is tied to it and I can't unlink from FB as the login source..
- jimmies 9y agoMessenger-with-a-phone-number-account is just a Facebook account in disguise. They just don't show you the login credentials. Under circumstances, you can obtain the login token to log in the web interface and it would behave just like a Facebook account with some restrictions. It might look different to most people, but given one still gets a "restricted" Facebook account created behind the scenes with a messenger account, I don't think people understand the privacy implications of that. See my other top-level post for my take on the issue.
- saiya-jin 9y agoHave the same issue with airbnb, stupidly created the account via facebook credentials, tried to migrate it to proper standalone user later, airbnb support claimed they can't do it due to technical constraints, I would have to close the account and create a new one. No problem if you're the traveler, but if you're the host, losing hard-built reputation would be a short term disaster... for a effin' login.
