MyFacebook Connect is a plugin which lets you login and register through Facebook on any MyBB installation. If you like MyFacebook Connect, consider offering me a coffee!
MyFacebook Connect can easily let your users register and login using their Facebook accounts: it differs from existing (both free and paid) plugins thanks to the provided PHP SDK and a lightweight, transparent integration. A must-have for almost every community and compatible with the latest MyBB releases!
As an admin, you can decide to use two different types of registration: Fast Registration lets you register through Facebook with only one click and one front-end redirect. This means that every user who would like to login into your board and doesn't have a registered account will be registered and logged in with a single click of a button. If he has already an account registered, he'll be just logged in and his account will be linked to his Facebook one. If he has already an account and its already linked as well, he'll be just logged in.
With Fast Registration option disabled, every user who hasn't got a registered account and logs in with Facebook will be asked to choose a new username and eventually an email address different from his Facebook one. By default, inputs will be filled with his existing Facebook data but they'll be able to choose whatever username and email they'll want. In addition to this they'll be asked to select what data to import from Facebook, respecting their privacy slightly better than the simple one-click registration process.
Thanks to all the guys who tested my plugin and thanks to all of them who will test my future versions.
Please note that MyBBoost runs on Flyover 2.4. Facebook login and registration is slightly different in MyFacebook Connect.
I am now accepting donations from anyone that wants to thank me for my plugins (and particularly for my My* Connect plugins) with a little amount of money. I have released many plugins for free but I am a student and I need to maintain my studies, hence why I am asking for an economical support.
You are free to decide if and how much donating. If you'd like to do it, offer me a coffee.
MyFacebook Connect has been downloaded over 100.000 times and counting. Many users have appreciated it for its ease of use and its high performances: here are some randomly picked up feedbacks.
At the moment, MyFacebook Connect comes with the following features:

Read How to configure to know how to use an image instead of a button for Facebook login.
If you want to use a CSS button instead of an image you can read brad-t's instructions.
Read the specific page in the documentation on GitHub to know how to update from any MyFacebook Connect to another. This is as simple as clicking a button and you won't lose any data.
You can contribute, report issues and request a new feature publicly, I'll do my best to fix and add what you request there. You can reach the plugin at the following link: https://github.com/Shade-/MyFacebook-Connect

Have tested it this and installed it on my forum and works like a charm.
This is the best solution for Facebook integration for MyBB. It's very simple yet powerful.
I love this plugin, it's very simple to use. Good job!
Such a shame this didn't come out sooner. No point us installing it now since we are moving to Xenforo, but this is another excellent plugin.
That's a great plugin! Thank you man!

Flyover lets you set up multiple social networks, including Facebook, and has some exclusive options. However, if you already have many users using MFC, it's best to wait for Flyover 1.3 which will feature a migrator from MFC and other plugins.
Thx for the advice..
What are the exclusive options you're talking about.. cause I can't seem to figure it out

Emailless and passwordless registrations, a bit more customizations and better performances, other than multiple providers support which is the main feature of Flyover.
Sounds interesting ... emailless and passwordless how do I need to interpret that?
- Do they still appear as registered users on the forum?
- Is the e-mail adress of users registering that way still written in the db?

Damn that's interesting, when will the update be there?, can't wait to make the transition to this awesomeness :)
MyFacebook Connect 3.2 is out
This is a bugfix and feature release.
New SDK
Facebook's SDK has been updated to the newest available (released: 23/7/2017), which is faster and more stable than the previous one used by MyFacebook Connect.
Minor bugfixes
Minor issues have been addressed, including:
- avatars are now served as secure content (with https);
- all templates are now cached before requesting them;
- settings are updated correctly when updating from 1.x-2.x.
How to update
Unzip the package and replace the old files with the new ones. Running the upgrade script is not required if you are on 3.0 or 3.1, otherwise you'll be asked to execute it.
