Log into? The 'typical user" interpretation of what "access" means in this context is probably worse than what was actually done. "Access" isn't a word that sounds innocent, if the app told them it was going to "'access' their bank account" any user who actually took the time to read it instead of blindly clicking through certainly would have second thoughts to say the least.
The uncomfortable truth of the matter is that facebook users using these kind of quiz apps simply didn't care about privacy. When presented with that dialog they shrug and clicked through. Privacy was something they didn't take seriously at the time, if ever. The two big fuckups by facebook, imho, are:
1) Allowing such privacy invasion, knowing that foolish users would fall for it. They should have protected their users by forbidding this sort of thing in the first place even if their users were too foolish to desire such protection.
2) Allowing careless users to give away information about their friends, many of whom would have avoided such "quiz apps" but got sucked up by the apps because of their careless friends.
