At today's developer conference Facebook F8, η εταιρεία παρουσίασε το Account Kit, a new universal login system that can work through a telephone device without passwords.
Facebook's new Account Kit will let developers create products where the users they can register with just their phone number, no passwords required, and the developer needs to write the code that manages all the registrations and login sequences.
All this will be done through a dedicated SDK, which developers will need to integrate into their services (on websites or applications).
Users will be able to sign in simply by typing their phone number on a page or an application that uses the Account Kit to receive an SMS with the password. So the user creates his account without needing to give a password that he should remember.
Facebook claims it will support SMS login on over 230 countries and in 40 different languages.
To make the new even more enticing feature Facebook announced that it is giving every developer 100.000 free SMS confirmation messages per month.
Let's also mention that the new Account Kit is not limited to users who have a Facebook account.
The new service has already been tested on different websites, offered to help with testing the beta SDK.
