Here’s something I found out the hard way.<\/p>\n

I wanted to brush the dust off my old Flickr account and I noticed that it has the option of Facebook authentication. Given how rarely I use Yahoo services I thought it’d be a neat way to avoid remembering another username and password combination (not that it’d be a burden with LastPass<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you want to use Facebook authentication do not sign in with your Facebook account unless you have already linked it to your Flickr account<\/strong><\/span>. If you do, then you’ll end up creating a second account.<\/p>\n

What you should do is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login to your Flickr account,<\/li>\n
  2. Go into your account information by clicking your username up in the top right-hand corner of the screen,<\/li>\n
  3. Click on the “Sharing & Extending” tab,<\/li>\n
  4. Click the link to link your Facebook account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once done, you can login either with your Flickr username and password or provide Facebook authentication.<\/p>\n

    Just one final thing, if you did create a new account by accident you can\u00a0disassociate\u00a0your Facebook account from it but you need to wait 24 hours after account creation in order to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
