Facebook login app #8

Open vkuehne opened 5 years ago

vkuehne commented 5 years ago

To allow members to quickly login or even sign up on the new site (even if they didn't log into HC for years and years and forgot their pw...or even access to their email).

from @infohata "HC needs to be registered at facebook as organization Then, app needs to be registered and API keys taken. I can do it as well and then transfer ownership but it is annoying dealing with their support. Oh, there is an organization, cool. Then, just an app But for the app to work we need to relaunch the site

@infohata - I have no idea where HC might be registered with FB as an organization, do you have a link?

from @infohata "authorizing account with facebook can be done through oauth, but i'd not focus on it now, even if it is not too technically complicated, it involves opening and maintaining facebook app, which I recommend to do correctly from day 1"

from me "FB login: that's actually something I'd really love from the get-go. This way members could login without remembering their old pw (and for some of them, it will have been years and years since they did), and we could also do fun things like have them connect to their FB friends on HC. And of course it would already be a very good additional Verification step, due to most people not using FB with fake names etc. anymore."

from @vd-l: "I've used Facebook Login (OAuth) and related features in the past in Perl, without an API, so I guess I would be able to implement it in Python where an SDK actually exists. I've never developped Android apps but I should be able to help there as well. I can't help with iOS though. If you'll want me to help, let me know when and, if wanted, provide specifications. Or don't give me specification if you prefer, I'm familiar enough with the HC database that I'll be able to figure something out on my own. @veit, Do note that using Facebook Login will only be straightforward if people used the same email address for their HC and FB accounts."
