Meta Centralizes Access to Facebook, Instagram, AI Glasses and More Apps
The update adds passkeys, login alerts and centralized parental controls as Meta rolls the change out over the next year.
- On Thursday, Meta announced the transition of its Accounts Center to the new Meta Account system, unifying login and management settings across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and devices like Meta Quest headsets.
- As Meta's ecosystem expanded to include WhatsApp and Ray-Ban smart glasses, users accumulated separate logins across services, prompting the company to simplify account management into one consolidated platform.
- Users can now set a single password across all services, with Meta adding support for passkeys—which use fingerprints, facial recognition, or device passwords—now working on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger.
- Parents can now manage teen supervision settings across apps from a single Family Center dashboard; Meta plans a gradual rollout over the next year.
- Pressure from more than 70 advocacy organizations is mounting against Meta's reported plans to introduce facial recognition into Ray-Ban smart glasses, citing privacy risks from the ability to identify individuals in users' fields of view.
