Facebook introduces ‘anonymous login”

Facebook introduces ‘anonymous login”
By: Salma Tantawi
To interact with most apps and websites, you’re usually asked to create a profile using your email address or login with one of your already existing social profiles such as Facebook. With the latter option users might get uncomfortable risking their social information to a website or an app they might not stay using for long.
Well, if it hasn’t been known to cherish your personal data before, Facebook is taking steps to at least make it more secure to use third-party services.
Introducing ‘anonymous login’ yesterday at the F8 conference in San Francisco, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the new way for Facebook users to log into other services with their Facebook credential, yet preventing such services from accessing their actual Facebook profiles and data.
“Anonymous Login lets people log in to apps so they don’t have to remember usernames and passwords, but it doesn’t share personal information from Facebook. People can decide later if they want to share any additional information, once they understand more about the app.” Facebook said.
With the new login option, which will now let the user choose whether to sign in with account anonymously or in a regular way, comes a redesigned app control panel from which users get to see and manage the apps they use.
