I'm really not fond of this trend of using Facebook logins for everything. Why not OpenID or similar? Whenever something asks for a Facebook login, I immediately decide not to use it.

I liked OpenID until I had to implement it for a site. Now I stay away from it (as a developer).

Everyone's OpenID is a bit different and I ended up with a lowest common denominator approach which was suboptimal in my opinion.
