Facebook Login now available for Windows Phone and Windows app developers

Friday, 15 November 2013

Everyone on the planet has a Facebook. Well, almost everyone. That means that basically all of us already have our name and personal information stored there in our account. Why not use that to quickly log in to things? Facebook Login does exactly that across the web and on Android and iOS. This week Microsoft announced it is coming to Windows Phone too.
How does it work?
You might be asking yourself “can’t I already log in to some apps with Facebook?” Yes, you can, but it usually sends you to the website and it’s a clunky mess. Facebook Login works with the official Facebook apps for Windows and Windows Phone. If you have those installed it’s just as simple as pressing a button and you’re logged in. One thing to note is that using Facebook Login will allow Facebook to share your activity in the app. Like the radio station you are listening to, for example.
It’s up to developers to integrate Facebook Login into their apps. iHeartRadio and Foursquare have already announced they will soon add this to their Windows Phone 8 apps, and Adobe will be adding it to their Windows 8.1 apps. if you’re a developer we have links to the guides to implement Facebook Login below.
