>Facebook is demanding some users fork over the password for their outside email account as the price of admission to the social network
What a dishonest article. Facebook is not demanding users to give them the password to their email to be able to use the network. Instead, it looks like they are giving the option of doing so to verify the email address, but you can still go the traditional route of verifying your email by clicking a link.
- thinkingemote 8y agoInteresting take. The article says what happens it doesn't hide the process. The user is presented with a dialog box asking for their external email password and the article states that the user by clicking the small "need help?" Link in the corner can ask for other traditional methods. Nothing dishonest in the article.
- werbel 8y ago>Those options are presented to users who click on the words “Need help?” in one corner of the page. Hiding something under completely unrelated link is not presenting your options in any way which is remotely close to being honest.
