Facebook login was not working and is removed

[donho]

A bad news for users who use Facebook authentication to connect on Notepad++ Community: this method is was not working and it will be is removed.

But the good news follows always the bad news: both Github & Google authentication still work fine, so you can use these methods for substituting the sh**ting f*$%&=+#~?king FB’s one!

Long story short, obviously FB has changed their policy regarding the API of authentication, and they just invalidated the old settings (I didn’t get any notification email from FB though).
During the process of creating the new settings, I’ve been asked to provide my personal identification document (passport or ID card, and etc).
I’m not comfortable to (didn’t and won’t) provide my personal info to any social network media, so I gave up the re-setup process of FB’s authentication API.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please use Github & Google instead.

@Joshua-Philipo ,

You just created this account a few hours ago, so I know no one has hacked this account on the forum – it’s yours.

If you are saying someone hacked your Facebook account, we are not affiliated with Facebook and can do nothing to help you with that.

If you are saying you used to have an account here in this Notepad++ Community Forum where you logged in with Facebook, and someone used your hacked Facebook credentials to log into your account here: don’t worry, they can no longer log into this forum using Facebook, so they cannot pretend to be you here (though you will still need to deal with Facebook directly if your Facebook account was hacked. We cannot help you with that.). If you use the “chat” interface (the speech bubble icon on the upper-right of the forum toolbar) to send me a private message, you can tell me the username for your old account here, which used to use Facebook for logging in, and if I believe that it was really the same user, I can further disable that account – though it’s not an issue, since no one can use Facebook to log in here any more.)

If you are saying you had an old account here that wasn’t using Facebook to log in, but that you believe that account has been hacked, you should have created a new topic in “Help Wanted” or “General”, not replied to this Facebook-specific announcement. That said, since I’m answering here anyway, you can just send me a “chat” and tell me the username for that old account; and if I look into it and it looks like it’s been hacked, I can disable that account so that no one will be impersonating you, and you can just use your new “Joshua Philipo” account to post here in the future.

@Joshua-Philipo that mean that the person who hacked your account knows your login details
