This practice has kept the users accounts safe from breaches.
Keeping Facebook safe and keeping it secure are two different things.
Security is about building walls to keep out threats and shore up defences.
However, according to Stamos, safety is bigger than that.
The security chief was quoted byCNETas saying, The reuse of passwords is the No.
1 cause of harm on the internet.
If anyone is using one of thesepasswords, this automatically makes his/her account vulnerable.
This is something Facebook is keen to help you avoid.
Stamos said Facebook is employing a safety-orientated building culture so that avoid vulnerabilities and bugs from being abused.
Usernames and passwords are an idea that come out of 1970s mainframe architectures, said Stamos.
They were not built for 2016.
However, this is only part of the solution when it comes to keeping people safe, says Stamos.
