After the joining to the OpenID Foundation Board in February 2009, Facebook has finally decided to implement the support for user’s automatic login based on OpenID. Even more, if an existing Google, MySpace, Yahoo! or Vidoop account will be linked with your Facebook account, you will also be able to automatically enter to Facebook, while you are logged to the respective websites.

Facebook social network, powered by a scalable, secure, and sustainable framework, will still provide a high level of security for users who automatically login with IDs and passwords from other linked accounts: in the process of login with OpenID, the the full-page redirect was converted to a pop-up.

This new alternative provided for the Facebook login is quicker for new users, making easy for them to register for Facebook and discover old and new friends in no time.

Even more, in the testing phase of the Facebook login process with OpenID, it was noticed the fact that there is a high probability for the Internet users who registered with Facebook based on their OpenID account details to become active Facebook users.

In conclusion, from now on, you can use open standards to enable the automatic login to your Facebook account. If you already have a valid Facebook account, just go to the Account Settings area and define the desired linked accounts from third party services or networks, in order to be automatically logged into Facebook for a faster access.
