#2The article's fundamental argument is that using any separate service to sign in is a problem, and doesn't really distinguish between signing in with Google or signing in with Facebook, yet many products with a huge need for security (protecting PII of users) that I'm familiar with use Google sign-in. That seems to indicate a fatal flaw somewhere, either in the writer's understanding of Google sign-in, or the assumptions most companies are making about security.

It's silly. A security flaw could exist in any other oauth provider, or password manager. I bet Facebook handled the incident better than many others in the industry would have.

Most companies are making incorrect assumptions about security everyday.

#5Services that don't have options besides Facebook/Google are the best of the bunch.

From the article:
>But at this moment, a sign-on service by Google or Microsoft has one big advantage over Facebook’s: Those companies did not lose control of 50 million people’s accounts, and Facebook did.

#8Is there anywhere I can get a list of all the websites I've ever used my Facebook account to log in to? I know I've done it for some of them in the past, but I don't remember which, and if any of them are still websites that I might use, I want to switch them off Facebook login so I can finally delete my account (which I don't use for anything else).
