Why is an Identity provider (IdP) (currently Facebook) used?

1. They generally "maintain" their registers to prevent fake accounts (users with multiple accounts).
2. They have more security features (using multifactor authentication etc).
3. Furthermore, the end-user will have fewer passwords to remember. 😃
