Meta is working to let people log into Quest with non-Facebook accounts more broadly within the next year.
Delivered on time The record shows it happened or was so.
Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True: by 28 Oct 2022, Meta let people generally set up and log into Quest without a Facebook account (e.g. with Meta accounts). Mostly true: the change was announced and largely live by the deadline, with only a minor element finishing slightly later. Mostly false: only a limited test, or broad availability came after 2022-10-28. False: dated evidence shows a Facebook account was still required for Quest login at the deadline.
Set before the research began.

E3 Getting Started with Meta Accounts Meta (meta.com blog) · 23 August 2022 Own record
“Meta accounts and Meta Horizon profiles are here! This update will roll out globally on a gradual basis, so if you don’t have the option to create a Meta account and Meta Horizon profile right away, you’ll get the update soon.”
Reasoning
Engadget reported on 2022-08-23 that Meta had begun rolling out Meta accounts as the new Quest login system, which freed headsets from Facebook (E2). Android Central reported that from Aug. 23, 2022, Quest users could no longer use a Facebook account to log into their headsets (E3). Meta's own post confirms a gradual global rollout that began the same day (E4). The rollout started about two months before the 2022-10-28 deadline. None of the evidence shows a Facebook account still being required at the deadline.
