Comment on Spotify and Facebook: Is that phishing?

Comments

If you don't want someone to mess with your Facebook account, then perhaps you shouldn't give them your Facebook login and password...

Well yes of course, you shouldn't use the same user:pass for different sites. But a lot of people do, and that opens them up to being hacked if the password for one site is revealed.

Spotify are knowingly logging into the OPs Facebook account without OPs permission. Shouldn't this qualify as unauthorised access, as in a Federal offence?
