Facebook is one of the most eminent and popular social platform that holds the largest number of users across the world. Developer of third party app/website allows users to sign in with their Facebook account, in this way it makes the things easier for users as they don’t have to go through the of sign up and verification procedure and for developers the plus point is they get the data of Facebook like your profile, picture which they can use in order to power their apps.

As whenever any user use an app that asks for your personal details and access over your accounts and news feed, they also have a fear in their mind pertaining to the privacy of their data and also spam that can affect their friend circle.

As with “Anonymous login” your information won’t be tracked with them but there will be one person who will have complete track of your every steps and that person is none other than “Facebook” itself. That means even though you login as an anonymous users but Facebook will still jot down all your activities like if you are signing in a dating site despite of being married, then Facebook will know it.


So, now users can feel more secured while using a third party app with their Facebook account as they can have complete control over the data they share by choosing “log-in as “anonymous” feature.
