At its Connect conference yesterday, Facebook, which has changed its name to Meta, said it was committed to making the Quest 2 a personal and office headset. Among them, users can log in to the headset through an office account, which is no longer limited to a Facebook account alone. The new program will begin small-scale testing to existing commercial customers this year, before entering public beta in 2022 and rolling out in 2023.
But in addition to the office account, the company is also looking into offering more ways to log in to the Quest beyond Facebook accounts. A Meta spokesperson confirmed that the team is working to provide "more options" in 2022, but stressed that more details need to be announced at a later date.
In addition, when asked in an interview whether users can unlink and delete Facebook accounts at that time, but still be able to keep the software content they purchased, CTO Andrew Bosworth replied: "Yes."
It’s worth mentioning that Meta’s CEO has pointed out a few days ago that the company takes user feedback very seriously and plans to “allow you to log into Quest with an account other than your personal Facebook account.” He further added that the company will be Metaverse first, not Facebook first, which means "over time you won't need a Facebook account to use our other services."
In fact, the community has been criticized for a long time about the way in which the Facebook account is mandatory to log in to the headset. If Meta can really provide more user-friendly ways to log in to their headsets, that's obviously good news for the community.
