There's a mix of crapily done websites that do that, which will probably get hacked and your credentials stolen, and sites which deliberately set out to capture them. Whenever I hear about friend's having their Facebook account taken over (and I do mean actually taken over, rather than the clones), I make three assumptions which are probably *all* correct: They've logged into something else using their Facebook credentials. They use the same credentials in multiple places. They have a really dumb password. People may think "so what, it's only Facebook" (or whatever else), but it can do you harm. They can commit fraud, or worse, in your name. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
