Sometimes I forget that services I use everyday have login pages. I cant remember the last time I logged in to facebook.


I do it several times a day, because I keep Facebook isolated in an Incognito tab, which I strongly recommend to everyone else.


Im curious why?


It means I don't have Facebook cookies set when I visit other web sites with Like buttons, so although Facebook can see that the same browser configuration at the same IP address is visiting those sites, they have less certainty that it's really me.


Facebook is still trying to use E-mail addresses as user IDs. Amateur hour, just like Apple.


Your custom URL ending also works for signing in to Facebook.
