With the new login features, Facebook is unbundling app permissions. This means when users log in with Facebook, they will be able to control exactly which permissions they grant to apps, or log in anonymously, if the developer makes the option available. What's more, developers will have to prove to Facebook that the permissions their apps are requesting are actually necessary.
Facebook will be implementing the login changes by adding an extra step to the app-review process that all developers go through: login review.
Login review will evaluate apps on three main points: whether the permissions an app is requesting are actually necessary, that apps must clearly ask for permission to post on a user's behalf, and how well the login process itself works by checking for crashes or errors.
Facebook knows that implementing these changes will be a lengthy process, so developers will have a year to make their existing apps compliant with the new login standards. However, the new login-review step will be effective immediately for any new apps.
