- th5 14y agowow, this is so interesting.... i cant even fathom that. getting old i guess
- furyofantares 14y agoDon't you log into Facebook with an email address?
- vlad003 14y agoYou don't have to. You can use a username.
- aphexairlines 14y agoThey still have username@facebook.com as a stable email address.
- saurik 14y agoSure, but the Facebook login is just "any e-mail address"; it doesn't really mean something for your account. You can add more e-mail addresses to your account, and all of them are allowed to be used to log in; the same, incidentally, is true of Google accounts.

- nonamegiven 14y agoOK, so how do you deal with a world where: - Many people never abandon their primary identity email. - But many other people often abandon their email identity. - You don't want to use a social network as the gatekeeper to *your* site. - You don't want to have human support for password resets. Sekrit questions/answers along the lines of your first car's maiden name? Those can be forgotten just as easily as usernames for login.
