Hello folks,
In the continuing of catching up of news, Trend Micro has an interesting article dealing with Face Book, and its log in capabilities. We use whats called facebook connect to get connected to other apps and services. I’ve used it, but we now know that it isn’t the best thing we can do today.
Recently, Facebook disclosed a potential issue where data was exposed, because of the access to other apps, and this is done through their API and key system.
The article Why it’s Time to Switch from Facebook Login to a Password Manager talks about this more.
Whether you use Trend Micro’s solution, Lastpass, One Password, KeyPass, or another solution developed in the future, I know now that it isn’t a good idea to use facebook for my log in needs.
I decided with Dice World to go ahead and do that, but that was at a time when it wasn’t that big of a deal. I’m not going to change that now, but I won’t do it for anything else unless it recognizes where I am, like a game I’ve not talked about called Game World, by the same folks that make Dice World.
What do you guys think of this?
