| Trying to sign up for a facebook account which makes me nervous anyway...virus..accounts being hacked, etc. Anyway, I get through the first screen..name..date of birth...the next screen has my email address and is asking for my password to my email address. Are you kidding me?? Why should I have to give away my password, that sounds scary!

Lot's of sites want your e-mail address, even Yorkietalk, and then you have to make a password, but it shouldn't be the same as your email.

| I thought the same thing too. I do however keep mine super private. No one can see anything about me that I don't want them to. Plus, I only made it so that my brother could talk to me while he was at work. I have no use for it now.

| As long as you don't click on a lot of the links Facebook is fine. You can access your address book to add friends but you can also just search people you know.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The scary part is sometimes you can get a virus that redirects your computer. It can redirect it to a fake facebook, or even fake bank. The reason why it's important not to give them the name of your password is once they have your email account they can change the password on any of your accounts, and all your email will come to them. They can change your passwords, on different accounts, such as ebay or banking. What's the facebook link you are using? Give the complete address.

Does the address start like this? http://www.facebook.com/profile.php? If so, that's the real spacebook.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | As long as it was www. facebook . com, you are ok. I think the page your on is setting up membership. Did you ask it to import friends from your email address book? That may be why it asked you for your email password. I personally wouldn't do it that way.
