Having to set up a new phone or tablet is a hassle,
especially when it comes to installing and logging back in to all of
your apps. This process should be a little easier in future, though, if
the app developers involved are using Facebook Login.
The social network announced an upgrade to its login feature at F8 this
week, which will remember apps you’ve linked with Facebook in the past,
and make logging in to them as simple as a single tap.
This means that if you’ve logged in to, say, Pinterest
with your Facebook account before, the next time you install Pinterest
on a new device (or re-install it), Facebook will remember and allow you
to simply click through to access your account, rather than asking you
to type out your full username and password. This feature is only
available on Android apps, and will only work if you’ve already logged
in to Facebook on that same device.
This was one of a number of improvements to Facebook
Login announced at F8, with the company clearly trying to woo developers
with the feature. Other upgrades include support for Facebook’s Free
Basics platform, better analytics, and a new identity verification
service. Facebook says 85 percent of the top 100 grossing apps in the US
already offer Facebook Login, and the more that join, the more Facebook
is woven into the fabric of the web.
