Abstract:
An online system receives from a third-party application on a client device, an anonymous login request to anonymously log a user of the online system into a third-party system associated with the third-party application. Responsive to receiving the anonymous login request, the online system generates a permissions user interface (UI) that provides an interface component including an option for the user to anonymously log into the third-party system using the user's login information for the online system. The online system provides the permissions UI to the client device, and receives permissions information from the client device. The online system generates an anonymous identifier that allows the user to login to the third-party system. The online system provides the anonymous identifier to the third-party application to allow anonymous login of the user into the third-party system in accordance with the permissions information.
Abstract:
Some embodiments involve methods and systems for instant personalization security. For example, a social networking system can provide a platform for a user to open applications and/or access external websites. In some cases, an application does not have access to the user's fully identifying profile (e.g., UID or other public information). Instead, the application has access to a pseudonymous profile corresponding to a hashed ID that is generated by the platform and provided to the application. Access to the pseudonymous profile enables the application or an external website to personalize its environment without breaching the security of the platform.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing flexible sentences are disclosed. The system includes a developer interface for providing options to define actor, edge, target and aggregation of a flexible sentence syntax. In one embodiment, tokens are provided to define property expressions of the edge and/or target of the flexible sentence syntax. Based on the defined edge and target, the developer interface may generate a plurality of flexible sentence syntaxes for a developer to select. In some embodiments, the developer can add additional property expressions to further define the edge and/or target of the flexible sentence syntax. In some instances, the plurality of flexible sentence syntaxes may be prioritized based on a percentage coverage, which is determined by the impressions received over a given time frame.
