Yes, it's a footgun. Don't even start using FB as an identity provider.

- wizzwizz4 6y agoWhat do you propose instead? And before you answer, consider that many systems only let you sign in with Facebook or Google.
- fastball 6y agoWell I think Google is a better choice than FB, but I can't think of any services I use where one or both of those are the only options and email signup isn't. The only one that comes to mind (and that annoyed me the other day) is ProductHunt, which has 4 options for signup, but not email.
- caskstrength 6y agoCan you name some of them? All apps/services I've used always had some way of register account with email. Granted, this option is sometimes "de-prioritized" (displayed less prominently).
