If you own Oculus Quest and have had to keep a Facebook account to log in to the device and have not been very happy with that, it is lucky. Facebook, the company that recently changed its name to goal this week, is abandoning the requirement of having a Facebook account if you want to use the functions of your Quest. However, a start date has not been provided when this change will come into force, so you will want to keep your Facebook account for now so as not to lose access to your content in the future.
Facebook announced the requirement to have an account on the platform to be able to use an Oculus Quest device last year. As expected, people were not very happy with the idea of having to connect a social networking account to their shopping catalog and Quest products. The reaction was well documented, but the requirement remained.
That is changing in the future, although we do not know when. The CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, said during the recent opening speech of the company that the Facebook login requirement will be deleted in the future. The work has already begun to test the work accounts for the devices and, during the next year, we will see a broader implementation of change.
As we have focused more at work and, frankly, we have heard your comments broadly, we are working so you can log in to Quest with an account that is not your personal Facebook account, Zuckerberg said. We will soon begin to try the support for work accounts and we are working to make a broader change here, during the next year.
On the social networking platform, the Facebook AR / VR vice president, Andrew Bosworth, commented that the requirement was also eliminated after confirming that Oculus Quest was being renamed and soon it would be known as Meta Quest.
As we have focused more at work and have heard the comments from the virtual reality community in a broader way, we are working on new ways to log in to Quest that will not require a Facebook account, which will arrive at some point. of the next year. Bosworth said. This is one of our highest priority work areas.
For those eager to unlink your accounts and access a Quest device without Facebook, keep these accounts for now until more information is shared.
