- _delirium 16y agoYeah, I think FB Connect hits right at the time that anti-phishing education has finally made people super wary of cross-site types of issues. They've had repeatedly banged into their heads: if the URL bar doesn't say example.com, don't give any of your example.com-related information to it, no matter what story it tells you! Of course, FB Connect doesn't actually require you to enter your Facebook password into a non-Facebook site, but I can see how people would be scared off. Using your Facebook credentials for something you didn't reach by typing facebook.com into the URL bar yourself feels at least superficially just like the sort of thing all these campaigns have been about...
