BY ALFRED NG, SEAN KEANE APRIL 3, 2019 5:31 AM PDT Seriously - headline a lone.. fucking face book. okay. back to the article. You won't need to give Facebook your email password to sign up for a new account anymore. After a Twitter user called out the social media giant over the practice on Sunday, Facebook has backtracked on the verification requirement. When some people signed up on Facebook, instead of getting a verification email or a code sent to their phones, they would instead get a prompt to enter their personal email's password to verify their new accounts -- essentially giving login credentials to the social network. The news was first reported by the Daily Beast. A Facebook spokesperson said that the passwords are not stored by the social network and that the verification method was only available to a "very small group of people." Pause.
