Meta will now allow users of its Quest VR headsets to log in with a new Meta account instead of a Facebook account, the company announced on Tuesday<\/a>. The company had said in July<\/a> that this change would be rolling out in August, and it marks a shift from an unpopular policy announced in 2020<\/a> that required users to log in to their headsets with a Facebook account instead of a separate Oculus account.<\/p>\n

Users can create Meta accounts through the Meta mobile app using an email address, Facebook account, or Instagram account. Once you create a Meta account, you\u2019ll need to set up a linked Meta Horizon social profile that will be used in VR. As with Facebook accounts before, you\u2019ll need one of these accounts to use a Quest headset.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new Meta account structure gives you more flexibility and control, letting you choose how you do and don\u2019t show up\u2014and whether Facebook and \/ or Instagram is part of your experience in VR and other surfaces where you use your Meta Horizon profile,\u201d Meta says in its blog post. If you want to set up a Meta account, the company has instructions in the blog post<\/a> and in a video<\/a>. <\/p>\n
