Facebook Launches Social Login and HTTPS

dkd903 writes "Facebook has introduced two new features. First is a really innovative way to verify real users rather than using CAPTCHAS. Using the Social Login feature (or Social Authentication as Facebook calls it), users will be shown a few pictures of their friends and then they will be asked to name the person in those photos. They've also launched HTTPS. The company says: 'Starting today we’ll provide you with the ability to experience Facebook entirely over HTTPS. You should consider enabling this option if you frequently use Facebook from public Internet access points found at coffee shops, airports, libraries or schools.'"

For "persistent https", I think you have to enable the new option in Account Settings -> Account Security.

I saw that one in a screenshot, but that option doesn't seem to be rolled out here yet, although I am able to manually type in "https://" in front of URL's. However, as you say, that only leads to using https temporarily.
