The problem is that people use FB login for other sites, and if FB login is down, many users report a problem with that other site, not with FB.

The point is that the “other site” _is_ down for those who use Facebook to login to it.

Maybe they should have a backup password (if they site allows it, f-ing Spotify doesn’t), but it’s still effectively down for them!
