Many online services allow you to log in using your Facebook login details.
Facebook login: Actually super practical. Because this saves time, you don't have to think about your own access data and you can log in with just one click. But over time you may no longer know where you chose this convenient method of registration.
The magazine “PC Go” (issue 1/20) now recommends checking this more often. The services that you have registered with via Facebook also have access to information from your profile such as your name and profile picture. Some of them also see the friends list or content that you have marked as “liked”.

Control access
How can you keep track of and control which services you have allowed access to? To do this, simply select the “Apps and Websites” menu in the Facebook settings. “Active” shows pages and apps for which you have used the Facebook login. You can now restrict access to information or remove those that you no longer use anyway. It is recommended that you do this regularly.
Facebook login: Caution is advised
Security experts describe log-in services such as those offered by Facebook, Google and Apple as critical. If unauthorized persons gain access to the Facebook login/log-in service, they also gain access to all data on which they are logged in using this log-in service. All you need to do is try to see if you can easily log in to different sites using your access data.
Two-factor authentication recommended
Anyone who uses Single Sign-on (SSO), as the principle of log-in services is called, should definitely do everything they can to secure their account as much as possible. A secure password is recommended here. It should be at least eight characters long and contain a mix of numbers, upper and lower case letters and special characters.

You are better protected with two-factor authentication. In addition to the chosen password, you have to enter a code, which you receive via SMS or via a special app during login. On Facebook you can set up this two-factor authentication via the security settings. This is no longer quite as “convenient”, but it is a lot safer.
