Android and iOS users have long
been using their Facebook
account for single click logging
in to apps, and soon Windows 8
and Windows Phone users will
be able to do the same. While
the feature's is still in its early
stages (on WP8, it's still in beta)
Microsoft has announced that
Foursquare , Adobe ( Revel,
Photoshop Express ) and
iHeartRadio are the first to get
in on the action. Similar to
Facebook Login on other
platforms, using it will make it
easier to share content from
within the app, and connect
your account info without
punching in the credentials yet
again. Foursquare will post your
check-ins, the Adobe apps will
let you upload photos easily, and
you can share the station you're
listening to on iHeartRadio.
Facebook users will probably
want to keep an eye on their
privacy settings to avoid
oversharing, while holdouts
from the social network can
remain assured that Microsoft's
own account system is still
positioned as the primary way
to log in on the platform.
