Ways to Login to Facebook Without Going to the Site
Most people think that to login to Facebook, you have to visit the website directly or log into Facebook from your phone. The truth is, there are Facebook desktop login apps, web and browser-based Facebook apps, and desktop notification services that let you access your favorite social network without ever visiting the site itself.
In this post, I’m going to detail a number of methods that you can use to connect to your Facebook account straight from your desktop, from a web-based aggregator, or through a desktop gadget and notifications.
1. Facebook Desktop Login
Years ago, there were desktop apps like Digsby or Trillian that let you view your Facebook feeds, make posts, and interact with Facebook in every way you would directly on the website. However starting around 2014, Facebook started shutting down its various APIs that allowed developers to create these useful apps. Today, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any app at all that offers Facebook social integration from a desktop.Folks, It's Time to Delete the Facebook News Feed Folks, It's Time to Delete the Facebook News Feed It's time to get rid of your News Feed.

Messenger for Desktop App
If you do tend to use messenger on Facebook more than Facebook itself, the Messenger for Desktop app is well worth installing.
It’s actually more functional than the messenger feature on Facebook itself. The app makes it quick and easy to search past conversations, switch emoji fast, and enable desktop notifications.
2. Check Facebook on the Web With Online Aggregators
If you don’t want to download any software to your computer, there are still ways that you can log in to Facebook without having to navigate to the website all the time. You can do this by using an online aggregator of all of the social networking accounts that you have.How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication on All Your Social Accounts How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication on All Your Social Accounts Let's see which social media platforms support two-factor authentification and how you can enable it.

Social aggregators make up another booming segment of the tech world a few years ago that are mostly dead today. Some of the biggest names shuttered their doors a few years ago, potentially also sparked by Facebook’s move to slam closed access to its APIs and feed data. All of the remaining services have shifted to paid plans that are geared toward helping big businesses maintain their social presence. The free tools for the regular folks are all but gone.
With that said, there are still some tools you can use on a limited basis to capture some of your account information. The three tools below serve three very different purposes. One is an aggregate of statistics from any of your social accounts. The other allows you to schedule posts on Facebook, Twitter, or any other network (or all of them at once), and the last turn your posts, or any posts of groups you run, into a nice aesthetic newsreader style feed.Twitter Analytics: Your Ultimate Guide to Stats and Tools Twitter Analytics: Your Ultimate Guide to Stats and Tools Twitter analytics show you what's working and what's not -- and help you get more followers, likes, and retweets.

Cyfe
Cyfe is another brand that went business focused, but unlike others, it maintained a free account for regular people like you and me. It offers plugins to the usual networks like Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and more.
Adding a new widget is as simple as clicking the Add button next to that social network and filling out the form.
Once you add a few of your social accounts, you’ll start to see the value of this really cool dashboard. You can monitor things like how many likes or views your Facebook pages are getting, how many followers you’re getting on Twitter, and much more.
Cyfe isn’t limited to social networks. You can also bring in statistics about things like how many unread messages are in your Gmail inbox, how many unsubscribes you’ve gotten in your MailChimp account, and even how many crawl errors your site has in your Google Webmasters account. There’s even an area where you can bring in data and charts from Google Spreadsheets or even Push APIs. With a little bit of work, this could become a very powerful, very informative dashboard.
Buffer
Buffer has been a long-standing name in the social media world. We’ve covered Buffer extensively at MakeUseOf, including scheduling Instagram posts with it, Buffer’s video features, and the analytics you’ll find in your Buffer account.How to Schedule Instagram Posts on Time Using Buffer How to Schedule Instagram Posts on Time Using Buffer Buffer is a great tool for easing the chaos of social media, and now it supports Instagram!
