We’re used to seeing Facebook as one of the login options on most websites, many mobile games and smartphone apps. Many people prefer the option to log in with Facebook as it speeds up the membership and approval process. Facebook often comes up with security gaps, how much information they choose to share with their users begins to help. The first step is to send notifications to users who log in to third-party applications. In the notification, you can see which application or site you’re logged into, and you can remove the application’s access to your account if you wish. Facebook is taking precautions against potential dangers: Logging in with Facebook was so easy that it was almost the main method of logging into a site for a significant number of people. Although this convenience is interesting, there are potential dangers. When a site or application accesses your profile, you provide them with your own information and Facebook learns more about you.
Many users don’t actually know what platforms Facebook has and how much data they have about their users. A study conducted in October last year revealed that many people did not know that Instagram and WhatsApp belonged to Facebook. Another study showed that three-quarters of users do not know the amount of information Facebook has, and when they learn, they are uncomfortable with this situation. Facebook is trying to improve data privacy: Last year, after the scandals in 2018, Facebook has determined its overall strategy as keeping existing users and acquiring new users. Puxuan Qi, one of the software engineers of the company, announced the announcement of the new feature: “We understand that people are sensitive about their privacy and related information, and we develop our products in such a way that we can honor these views and take steps.. However, it is not clear how reliable it is to log in with Facebook when logging into another site. Perhaps this move will lead people to learn more about it.
