While worrying at first glance, this is actually still perfectly secure for a few reasons. First and foremost, Facebook is able to do this without storing the password in plaintext because they are transforming your provided (and untrusted) input from the form field and checking if it matches. Secondly, this isn't very helpful for someone trying to brute force the password because online attacks are nigh impossible thanks to rate limiting and captchas. Finally, the odds of an attacker/evil spouse knowing the text of your password and not the capitalization are abysmally small and so the risk created as a result of this feature is equally small.
They might have decided that usability is of utter importance and, if there is a log in attempt for an email address for which there is not an account, automatically attempt the log in with the most similar username, but -while not completely bad- it doesn't seem a good approach, as someone else could sign up tomorrow with the [email protected] email and, although unlikely, also use Password123 as password, then what?
If you're having trouble logging into Facebook, first check to see if the site is down.

I found on Spotify that my account is not only linked to my Facebook account, but I've been given a 10 digit number as a username.

It can be very distressing to discover that your Facebook account has been hacked, and your data violated, but taking swift action and increasing awareness can help you regain control and protect your privacy. This blog post will explore what to do if your Facebook account was hacked and password changed: How to manage a hacked Facebook account recovery, how to report a compromised Facebook account, and what to do to prevent FB hacks from happening in the first place.
Recovering a hacked Facebook account takes a little bit of time and patience. As hackers utilize the Facebook recovery protocols to hack the account in the first place, companies like Meta have committed to setting up lengthy recovery processes in response.

If you can't access your account, go to the Facebook login page and click on the "Forgot Password" link. Follow the prompts to reset your password. You may need to provide information like your email address, phone number, or security questions associated with your account.
If the email address associated with your Facebook account has also been compromised, altake steps to recover and secure your linked email account first. Most services, including Facebook, use your email for password recovery. Since email is often a primary means of communication and a common method for recovering access to other online accounts, securing it is a crucial step in regaining control of your digital presence and preventing further unauthorized access to other online accounts.
Once you have changed your password and secured your linked email, you will hopefully find you still have access to your Facebook account. Now you should enable two-factor authentication for your Facebook account. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your mobile device in addition to your password.
Be cautious of suspicious links and emails, as hackers often use phishing tactics to gain access to your account. Familiarize yourself with Facebook's privacy settings and adjust them to suit your preferences. Learning to recognize the signs of a compromised account, changing your password, enabling two-factor authentication, and utilizing Facebook's security features are essential steps to secure your privacy and protect against online identity theft.
Lastly, avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. By staying educated and vigilant, you can enjoy a safer and more secure experience on the world's largest social media platform. For more information and advice on staying safe online, visit reasonlabs.com.

Check your email and create a password (a strong, unique one!). After that, go to Facebook settings, and navigate to the Apps and Websites section. Select the checkmark next to Spotify and click "Remove" at the top. Facebook warns that revoking Facebook permission from Spotify may delete your Spotify account, but it didn't (at least for me). Select "Remove" again.
