Context
Ray-Ban Stories are the first-generation smart glasses made by Meta in collaboration with Ray-Ban. They feature built-in cameras, open-ear audio, and seamless social sharing. Meta also provides a companion app, Facebook View to help users set-up their glasses, import their captures and share their captures on Social Media. Currently, all users are required to use a Facebook account to sign into Facebook View app and setup their glasses.

At a high-level, a Meta account provides users with:
- More flexibility and control with managing their identity
- Better shared experiences across the Family of Apps
- Freedom to choose email & password to access Reality Lab devices
Benefit for Ray-Ban Stories Users
