Security News > 2020 > January > Facebook Introduces New Login Alerts

Facebook this week introduced a new notification to alert users when their accounts interact with a third-party application using Facebook Login.

Dubbed "Login Notifications," the new feature is meant to provide users with increased control over their data, the social platform says.

The Login Notifications are triggered when a user logs into a third-party app and grants it access to their account information, and when the operation is repeated after the app's access to information has expired.

Users will receive alerts via the Facebook app and their associated email addresses.

The new feature is being introduced two months after the social platform revealed that 100 third-party application developers continued to access user information they shouldn't have, after access to that data was restricted.
