Review Facebook login details #1020

Closed danieldegroot2 closed 6 months ago

danieldegroot2 commented 6 months ago

As of yesterday, Facebook login returns

Feature Unavailable Facebook Login is currently unavailable for this app, since we are updating additional details for this app. Please try again later.

May be due to any of the following (found in account page)

app auth is disabled (unlikely)
missing setup steps (may have changed)
up-to-date/valid privacy policy needs to be (re-)supplied
permissions (advanced access) for email and/or public_profile need to be (re-)requested
requiring business account login verification for such requests (since May 2023)
pending data use checkup (app will be highlighted in red)
password needs to be reset (also fairly unlikely)

See also notices on Login permissions page.

Yes facebook have refused to register the OpenStreetMap Foundation in line with their new security rules so we are no longer able to access login with Facebook and we are going to have to disable it.

Specifically as of 8th January they require Facebook applications that are used for logging in to be connected to a verified Meta Business Account but while we have been able to link the application to a Business Account we have been trying for months to get them to verify the account and they just keep rejecting our paperwork with no explanation and attempts to reach out to contacts inside Facebook to get this resolved have gone nowhere.

Fixed in https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/commit/31e786d715dbb4599a129f5e3bbfdda7c1c54cbb for some value of fixed.

Okay. I would suggest communicating this change to users via official publicity channels, indicating

what happened
if there are any plans to continue work on this issue
whether any data is lost
can be retrieved
etc.

if not already being considered.

Sidenote: I assume this change (disabling Facebook login) has been approved internally.

I have put out an initial message:

OSM's communication working group might put out something more formal later.

danieldegroot2 commented 6 months ago

Thanks. The workaround is working for now.
