The only alternative has been to create throwaway Facebook accounts just for VR.<\/p>\n<p>The new account system will also replace legacy Oculus accounts, which were created before the devices were fully integrated with Facebook services. Starting on January 1, 2023, anyone still using an Oculus account will have to migrate to a Meta account. That\u2019s the same deadline that was already in place, except before now, the only option was connecting to Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, having a separate account for your Quest headset won\u2019t stop Meta from harvesting data about you, and possibly even linking it to a Facebook account by comparing IP addresses. Meta accounts still require \u201cyour name, email address, phone number, payment information, and date of birth.\u201d However, moving VR headsets to an independent account does make family access easier (no more making Facebook accounts for young children), among other common use cases.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2022\/07\/meta-accounts-and-horizon-profiles-for-vr\/\">Meta Blog<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oculus.com\/blog\/meta-accounts\/\">Oculus<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
