I got completely fed up with their developer warnings and decided to get rid of the Facebook login feature. It was very rarely used anyway.
What puzzles me is that what else I might need to do, in addition to disabling it from the settings? The admin panel does not seem provide a report that would show which accounts have used the Facebook login method.
I am on CDCK SaaS.
Just as an FYI, if youāre looking for some customer support you can message @team or email team@discourse.org and someone will be able to help you when their working week begins on Monday. 
Though you may be able to find this info using a data explorer query.
I will also remove Facebook Login from my forum.
Totally agree.
Bad move from Meta.
It is insane.
It is done nowā¦
Facebook actually restricted app to login.
Bad move from Meta.
Disabling Facebook Login from my forum:
Will wait if some day the roll back this stupid idea.
Iām hesitant about whether to enable this or not. Context: migrating a rather large community of non-tech-savvy people from Facebook. Iām sure it would help a lot to have Facebook login but if it breaks a lot if may be worse than not having it to start with. Also, what happens if a personās facebook account gets suspended? (Asking because that happened to me this summer ā does that disable access to Discourse too?) And how easy/nightmarish is it if at some point I decide to disable Facebook login?
You can find out about Facebook logins using a Data Explorer query: How do I see Facebook signups? - #2 by david.
I stopped using Facebook login years ago. I canāt find the topic about it here any more. But your forum will know the usersā email addresses, so I think itās just a matter of them having to click the āforgot passwordā link to create a new one
As suggested, the social logins are additional ways to log in. Users can log in any way that you configure (matched by email address).
Right, so it could still make sense to have it working to welcome the wave of Facebook users. People in our community also all have a Google login, so that might also be helpful.
Thanks!
If you go for enabling Facebook logins, I wish you good luck 
If you want to go the easy (but less straightforward for users) way, enable Discourse ID as it is compatible with social logins (it will handle them for you).
haha thanks! Iāll probably need it!
This is what Iād like to do, but I think that (for starters at least) I really need to make it as easy as possible for my facebook peeps to slide into Discourseā¦
The key problem with Facebook logins isnāt establishing it (although that is a bit of a pain) - rather the maintenance of it.
After the third round of it breaking (each time some obscure requirement from Meta), I got sick of it and turned it off for good.
So it might be reasonable to implement it (or at least have a go) for your transition period, without the expectation of keeping it going in the long term.
Right, so Iād probably set it up, get people in, but also, as they arrive, encourage them to set up a discourse ID so theyāre all set when Meta/Facebook break the Facebook login feature 
Oh wait. Do you mean that people can use their facebook social login to create a Discourse ID? So all I need to do is enable Discourse ID (and, doesnāt cost much, Google social login) for people to be able to easily slide over from the Facebook group?
(Just caught up properly with the Facebook social login issue and the verified business requirementā¦ steep hill to climb.)
Steeper than a situation where FB-users need to create an account in third party to login to forum using that credentials, not FB SSO? I have 26k FB-group and not a single soul took that route. Well, in Finland almost everybody has gmail or hotmail and they are using those ones[1].
except that situation will change slowly because quite many are leaving US-services ā©ļø
Yeah, actually in our community everybody has a google account (because we ask them to have a tracking spreadsheet for glucose monitoring), so they can also use that directly. The less technical members however are not comfy with it. Iām going to run some tests with volunteers and see how that goes!
Yes, you can do that.
You can also let Discourse ID handle Google accounts as well.
But itās an added layer of friction. By letting Discourse ID handle social logins, the account creation process will go from:
Your forum ā Social Login
To
Your forum ā Discourse ID ā Social login
Good thing is that once the account is created, login will be only 1 click as usual. Still, added friction on account creation might be an issue for some people 
thanks, itās quite clear now. given the overhead the facebook business thingy is going to be, Iāll let people go through discourse ID if they want to use their facebook account, and Iāve set up google social login so they can also come directly with that if they prefer 
sorted out!
