Note, just because you’ve been signed out of Facebook does not mean the threat has passed. If you use Facebook to log in to any other site, those are all potentially still compromised.

I’m not sure I have an opinion about FB, but I use GitHub as an IdP for several sites (travis, appveyor, macports, etc). It _is_ convenient.
-
Yes, SSO/identity-provider is convenient. But FB makes a really really bad choice of one. I would go so far as to say it's irresponsible for a site to allow users to use FB as their SSO/identity provider.

What about Google? I believe those are the two largest IdPs.

Google is getting worse too, depending on which of their services and products you use. But I feel like supporting Google as SSO is reasonable because some people use it in ways that don't expose huge parts of their lives to Google.

On the other hand, if you're on Facebook, you're probably using it in ways that reveal your entire network of relationships to other people and lots of private aspects of your life. Unlike Google it doesn't have any purpose beyond that.
