- barce 9y agoIf you go here https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications you can see all your logins. You can migrate each login, one by one, using an app like 1Password to generate new passwords that you don't have to remember.
- gregknicholson 9y ago> I like that Facebook is now a glorified version of OAuth I don't. One company should not have the power to decide whether I should be recognised as a legitimate individual or not, and they should not act as a gatekeeper between me and my online identity. I don't care how benevolent that one company genuinely is. If an intermediary is necessary (like an email provider for mere mortals), I should be able to choose a service provider.
- julioneander 9y agoSome services/apps may be able to transfer stuff to a new account. When I deactivated my Facebook account, I had Spotify linked to it. I created a new Spotify account with an email and contacted their support to transfer everything to the new account and deactivate the old one, it was quick and worked flawlessly.
