Facebook is finally allowing users to log into third-party apps anonymously. If you want to try out an app without sharing your personal information, anonymous login is perfect.
Anonymous logins are currently being tested so don’t expect to see it everywhere just yet. Select partners like Flipboard have the new feature.
By allowing users to log in without sharing any information, users have the ability to try out an app risk free. This is good for app developers since users won’t be turned off immediately by the traditional Facebook login.
Facebook also updated the way it asks for permissions during log in. Permissions are now displayed as a list with permissions that you can quickly uncheck. This is more transparent than asking for individual permissions.
The new log in will be rolling out over the next few months. Anonymous logins are still being tested with a few select developers but Facebook plans to open it up to more developers soon.
