I can't remember any website that _required_ Facebook to log in, except maybe weekend hacks were other login methods were added later one.
The online world may still have some freedom :)
- superted 15y agoSpotify comes to mind. Not a website though.

- AVTizzle 15y agoLike superted mentioned - Spotify is one example. There's plenty more. A friend of mine is building LikeBright.com - it's a unique concept for a dating app that exists as a layer on top of the Facebook. FB auth is obviously a huge part of Facebook's extension beyond their walled garden, but there's plenty more examples. The fan-page widgets for social proof, Facebook Comments for publishers, and like-buttons are all areas of integration that solidify Facebook's lead. It's not just a site, and it's growing into being more than just a platform. Already, Facebook's certainly beyond anything any historical precedents have set before.
