How do I get rid of quick login on Facebook?

Facebook’s quick login feature allows you to quickly log into apps and websites using your Facebook account. While this can be convenient, some users may prefer to disable quick login for privacy or security reasons. Luckily, turning off quick login is easy to do through Facebook’s settings.

What is Facebook Quick Login?

Facebook Quick Login, also known as Facebook Connect, is a feature that allows you to use your Facebook account to sign into other apps and websites. When you see an option to “Log in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Facebook”, that’s Facebook Quick Login.

When you use Quick Login, you don’t have to create new accounts or remember new usernames and passwords for each app or site. The app or site will be able to access basic information from your Facebook profile, such as your name, email address, gender, profile picture, and more. You can control what information is shared through Quick Login in your Facebook settings.

Why Would You Want to Disable Quick Login?

Here are some common reasons why people choose to disable Facebook Quick Login:

Privacy concerns – Quick Login gives apps and sites access to some of your Facebook profile info, which some people are not comfortable with.
Security concerns – If your Facebook account is compromised, apps and sites you’ve logged into with Quick Login could potentially be compromised too.

Don’t want Facebook connected to everything – Some people simply don’t want their Facebook account tied to all their other online accounts.
Too many unimportant logins – Quick Login can lead to you being logged into apps or sites that you don’t really use anymore.

How to Turn Off Quick Login

Luckily, Facebook makes it easy to disable Quick Login if you no longer want to use it. Here are step-by-step instructions:

Go to Facebook.com and click on the down arrow in the top right corner.
Select “Settings & Privacy” from the dropdown menu.
Click on “Settings” in the left sidebar.

Select “Apps and Websites” under the “Security and Login” heading.
Under “How people log into your account with Facebook”, click “Edit”.
Turn off the toggle next to “Use your Facebook account to log into other apps and services.”

Click “Save Changes” at the bottom.

And that’s it! Facebook Quick Login is now disabled. The next time you come across the “Login with Facebook” option on an app or website, it will not work anymore.

What Happens When You Disable Quick Login

Here’s what happens when you turn off Facebook Quick Login:

You won’t be able to use your Facebook account to log into any apps or websites anymore. You’ll have to sign up or log in the normal way.
Any apps or sites you previously logged into with Facebook will remain connected to your account. Disabling Quick Login does not automatically log you out from anywhere.
Apps and sites will no longer be able to request new permissions or access more of your Facebook data.

Facebook will disconnect any inactive apps and sites from your account after a period of time.

So in summary, disabling Quick Login prevents any new apps and sites from connecting to your Facebook account. But it does not remove existing connections. You’ll have to manually go in and disconnect those if desired.

How to Disconnect Apps and Sites from Facebook

If you want to completely sever connections between Facebook and other apps and websites you’ve used Quick Login with, here are the steps:

Go to your Facebook Settings.
Click “Apps and Websites” under the Security section.
Under “Logged in with Facebook”, click “See All”.

This will show you all the apps and websites currently connected to your Facebook account.
Go through and click “Remove” on any apps or sites you want to disconnect from Facebook.

Doing this will completely remove the connection and your Facebook account will no longer work as a login method for these apps and sites. You’ll have to use your normal account credentials to log in going forward.

Pros of Disabling Facebook Quick Login

Disabling Facebook Quick Login offers some benefits:

Increased privacy – Apps and sites will no longer get access to your Facebook profile information.
Better security – Eliminates a potential weak spot if your Facebook account were to be hacked.

More control – You get to decide exactly where your Facebook account can and can’t be used to log in.
Avoid unimportant logins – Prevents you from being logged into old apps or sites you don’t use anymore.

For many people, the privacy and security benefits are the main appeal. Quick Login does offer convenience, but also shares your personal data more widely.

Cons of Disabling Facebook Quick Login

There are some downsides to disabling Quick Login as well:

Less convenience – You’ll have to take the time to create accounts and remember separate logins for each app and website.
Can’t use Facebook apps – Some apps require Facebook Login, so you may lose access to certain Facebook-connected apps.

Extra steps to log in – It takes more clicks to log in the normal way versus just clicking a Facebook button.
Harder password management – You’ll have more passwords to remember, instead of just one Facebook login.

So in many cases, Quick Login does offer a faster and more convenient way to access apps and websites. There are some trade-offs in losing this by disabling it.

Other Ways to Enhance Privacy

If you want better privacy but don’t want to fully disable Quick Login, here are a couple other steps you can take:

Be selective in what apps/sites you use Quick Login for. Only enable it where you fully trust the app and find it very useful.
Tighten app permissions – Go to your Facebook settings and remove any unnecessary permissions granted to apps and websites.

Use extra login security options – Enable two-factor authentication on your Facebook account for better security.

You can also periodically review and remove any unused app and website connections from your Facebook account. This can help trim down apps and sites collecting your data or using your login unnecessarily.

Conclusion

Facebook Quick Login offers convenience by allowing you to easily sign into apps and websites with just your Facebook account. However, some people prefer to disable this feature due to privacy or security concerns.

Disabling Quick Login is straightforward – just go into your Facebook settings and toggle it off. This prevents new apps and sites from connecting to your account going forward. Existing connections will remain until removed manually.

There are good reasons for and against using Facebook Quick Login. Evaluate your own preferences for convenience, privacy and security. You can always re-enable Quick Login in the future if you change your mind after disabling it. Carefully considering app permissions and periodically removing unused connections can also help optimize your privacy settings.
