I dont. I gave them the first two, and the third just speaks to how powerful their compute abilities are and how much money they have. I didnt say they were doing it.
While you are of course completely entitled to provide this information to anyone you see fit, I still find the thought of a bank using FB integration for anything, especially authentication, abominable.
And the fact that FB has your data certainly isn't a justification for a bank using any kind of such integration. My pet store has my credit card data, doesn't mean I want my bank to use them as an identification provider or have any integration with their systems.
And if powerful abilities are what you're looking for, the mafia can also brute force anything out of anyone. So I guess... yay? That's a good reason for banks to use them.
The reasons you yourself gave in the "against" section are sufficient to disqualify them. I have a contract with my bank. Any 3rd party introduced in there is additional liability. When that 3rd party is a company with a proven track record of every shady practice known to man it just reinforces my opinion.
I'm sure there are banks to cater for everyone's tastes. I just don't see a reason why I would ever want to give my business to any such bank.
Would you be mad if your bank offered to allow people to verify their identity with FB, or if they forced it. I dont see why the former bothers you, if you choose not to use that feature.
I would not use FB to log into a bank because of the Against section. Its not the technical implementation, but their human services that make the product too risky to be trusted as my keys to a door. Im not worried about them logging in and poking around my bank, im worried about them locking me out.
I wouldn't be mad, I would just choose to take my business elsewhere.
First of all I do not trust Facebook in any way and would no longer trust my bank if they trusted Facebook. FB does not have any kind of obligation towards me (at least none that they're willing to uphold, even if it means bending or breaking the law). I consider banking to be a critical service to me so I personally wouldn't want them to have anything to do with my bank.
Second of all FB and the bank could at any time share data that would negatively impact me and we already know there are no negative consequences to that as far as the companies are concerned.
And lastly, my bank using this even as an opt-in sets the trend and suggests their intentions in the future. Continuing to use it means endorsing the behavior. Like buying software from a company that also sells to oppressive governments. If I have a choice I avoid it.
I guess I trust facebook more than a small credit union to have secure software, better code review, smarter employees who dont fall for phishing, and less likely to lose their password database. The worst thing to happen to facebook from a security standpoint is either that page preview token or someone logging into some of their back end accounts a while back, and in both cases the people who got in didnt get very far.
> facebook already has my social security number
> if facebook doesnt have that stuff, im sure they could buy it or brute force it in seconds.
Do you not agree that this is a somewhat sad state of affairs?
