Question

i signed up with Facebook, so i normally login with Facebook too. Is it possible to login with email and a password instead?

Answer 1

On OS? Yes if you type the same login as your FB it will work

Answer 2

@pooja195 are you sure about that? OS doesn't have access to your Facebook password

Answer 3

i login with the same thing all the time :P

Answer 4

it should work...

Answer 5

you login with Facebook, or email?

Answer 6

There are times where it has a problem logging me in with the FB button so i login with my FB stuff same pass same email

Answer 7

but the question is how did OS get your facebook password?

Answer 8

If you signed up with FB its synchronized

Answer 9

ok, did you signed up with email, or facebook

Answer 10

facebook

Answer 11

no third-party app has access to your facebook password

Answer 12

Thats if its set like that there are settings on FB for that

Answer 13

this is extremely weird, because FB under no circumstances give any app an user's password, the FB login is based on a special authentication method that doesn't involve any password, let me create an account rn to check

Answer 14

Look it doesn't really matter noone will have your info -_- also have you never connected anything with fb? don't you see buttons that say "sign up with facebook" its the same thing for OS

Answer 15

in no other websites, you are be able to login using email with your fb credentials

Answer 16

LOL that is everywhere xD for instance, YouTube,Instagram and Twitter

Answer 17

its pretty much the same it makes your life easier you dont have to fill out much inf after words :P

Answer 18

no, the point of "login with blabla" is an anthentication that avoids the need of entering a password

Answer 19

it uses a secret key that Fb/Gmail/twitter will provide to ensure it's user identification

Answer 20

You can sign up with that too....and then use it to login just like OS

Answer 21

We need to go deeper.

Answer 22

Your question:Is it possible to login with email and a password instead?
Answer: YES

Answer 23

YES

Answer 24

ok @pooja195 , so you are telling me once you signup using Facebook, OS has your Facebook password

Answer 25

NO
OKAY IM GONNA BREAK THIS DOWN

Answer 26

Technically yes but noone sees it

Answer 27

@pooja195 that is contradiction, facebook login *never* *ever* gives any other website your facebook password

Answer 28

your account is synchronized with OS so that its easier to login and so that you can share things on FB

Answer 29

OS does not have any record of your FB password

Answer 30

Well facebook doesn't give your password \(without\) \(your\) \(permission\)....so if you grant that as ok, then it is given.

Answer 31

then tell me @pooja195 , how are you able to login on OS using your facebook email and password

Answer 32

At least, I've heard that somewhere.

Answer 33

@EclipsedStar that's exactly my point, Facebook *under NO circumstance* give away password, there is NO option to allow permission for any third-party app to access your password

Answer 34

You sign up with your facebook
It uses that info to connect to a proxy
This shadows registration process with your information that you have on your facebook
You basically gave them permission to use it
Then.....you can sign in with facebook while enjoying some of the benefits

So technically you told OS to use your information which is all bundled up in their privacy policy. Facebook don't got nothing to do with this.It was all you baby gurl.

Answer 35

LOL XD

Answer 36

Does this really matter?(again) Like i said its sychrononized just like any other site u login with FB or any other social media site LOL ash

Answer 37

You GAVE permission so its not breaking any type of law if thats what your going for

Answer 38

Do the world a favour and don't marry. We don't need you to reproduce. JK

Answer 39

@OrthodoxMan do me a favor and save your face. You clearly have never used a Fb API, let me break down for you

when you signup with FB, it gives you a secret and unique key that is used to identify you, OS stores that in its database. everytime you login with facebook, facebook gives that unique key to you again, and OS checks if that key matches any user in its database, if it does, pull that user out and make him logged in

Answer 40

it's a clear and simple process that involves no storage of password, there's no way for any third party to have access to your FB password

Answer 41

unless you tell that third party app your facebook password

Answer 42

Let me make a conclusion for you.....YOU GAVE permission and your info out OS did not take it or force you to give it so end of story

Answer 43

This isn't even related to your question

Answer 44

true story lol ^

Answer 45

Oh c'mon. Did you actually believed what I said?
But this is all pre-school stuff. You gave them permission to use your info for
the purpose of registering on this site. This site does not take that password to access your facebook account.

Answer 46

O,o im lost

Answer 47

well im just gonna go....xD

Answer 48

Wait....did you contradict you initial question?

Answer 49

So...the original question was this.

"i signed up with Facebook, so i normally login with Facebook too. Is it possible to login with email and a password instead?"

Answer 50

I'm gonna use a dummy facebook account as a trial..

Answer 51

My name is Alice guys.

Answer 52

yes the answer is yes

Answer 53

you guys clearly have no knowledge nor is willing to have a clear understanding of how signup with social network works

Answer 54

hun I have my fb signed up with OS I know and ive been here for two years nothing has happened

Answer 55

And like I said this has nothing to do with your question to answer it I said yes u can

Answer 56

@Node.js im speechless all i can say is i dont even get what's your point but i hope u get it solved

Answer 57

>Asks question
>bashes answers
>Is answer solved?
>Find out next time on OS Drama

Answer 58

try doing forgot password..they will send u an email..and then change it..:)

Answer 59

i suspect that's what @pooja195 did to get his facebook password known to OS

Answer 60

i just created fb signed up account on OS, email login does not work using fb credentials

Answer 61

^ Just curious, why are you checking it out? OS isn't getting confidential information and I see no harm.

Answer 62

1) Think before you accuse thats a bit rude to say I have no intentions in having my password known to OS I done any emails
2) If you signed up with fb the password will be the same everytime u login unless you change it.in that case your normal fb login will be the same but if you manually login u will have to use your new password instead of the fb one
3)im a girl
4) I do this everyday I would know and i have 0 tolerance for arguments good night! :)

Answer 63

@pooja195 you fail exactly as your point 2), if you signup with fb, you will NOT be able to login with your fb password

Answer 64

?

Answer 65

i just tested with a dummy user

Answer 66

ahahha thanks :) being dumb feels nice ^_^ i never said that read carefully

Answer 67

and yes you can :)

Answer 68

read carefully what i've just said

Answer 69

learn to understand basic English

Answer 70

I know my english =P unlike others i have no intrest in creating fights for no valid reasons as far as i know you can so u think what u want :)

Answer 71

you contradict yourself already with two statements:
1. OS doesn't store Facebook password
2. You can email login with facebook password

I can't be more clear than this

Answer 72

Since we all know statement 2 is true, statement 1 must be false

Answer 73

Like i said im done with this topic bye have a great night

Answer 74

And statement 1 and 2 have to be simultaneously true for your statement to hold. Hence this proves you have no logic but plain emotion expulsion without understanding

Answer 75

cool story bro :)

Answer 76

Read the fking manual on Facebook Login API before you make any further ignorant statement about any login & signup mechanism

Answer 77

This is an insult to the entire tech industry and the engineering crew that spent years to build OAuth 2.0. Now go Google that since you don't have a single clue what i'm talking about

Answer 78

^ No need to be harsh about it though.
