Facebook has been caught practicing the worst ever user-verification mechanism that could put the security of its users at risk.
Generally, social media or any other online service asks users to confirm a secret code or a unique URL sent to the email address they provided for the account registration.
However, Facebook has been found asking some newly-registered users to provide the social network with the passwords to their email accounts, which according to security experts is a terrible idea that could threaten privacy and security of its users.
