First, I have already read a previous thread on someone else having similar issues cleaning up after disabling Facebook connect, but there were no real answers in that thread, so hoping to get some here.
Because of how badly it slows down the site, we have disabled Facebook Connect after having it on for almost a year. We have over 5000 members who signed up through Facebook Connect and many of them are now having issues. Here is what we have found:
Because of how badly it slows down the site, we have disabled Facebook Connect after having it on for almost a year. We have over 5000 members who signed up through Facebook Connect and many of them are now having issues. Here is what we have found:
- Forum user name and password are the same as their facebook account unless they entered something different when they linked the accounts.
- User name retrieval and password reset process works (when entering correct profile email address).
- Manually editing your password using "Edit Email & Password" does not work because the account is listed as "Facebook Connect - Yes" and the connector is no longer enabled.
- If a member doesn't know their password, they can do a password reset, but they will not be able to change the temporary site generated password. We can not test if this changes when the account is no longer set as "Facebook Connect - Yes" because we can't remove that flag.
