Hi there I've tried to avoid asking and hassling since I bought this beautiful component I was so busy trying to implement and read as much as I could to make it run smoothly.
Well everything is working fine until just now trying to figure out what is the problem after setting the configuration to automatic registration for user with facebook account all working fine except when the user try to login to joomla with facebook credentials [email used with facebook] and [password used with facebook]
I keep getting this message:
Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.
although the user is activated and already in the list of users in joomla and jomsocial users table.
am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Hm,
The user can't use the standard Joomla login form with their Facebook email and password. They need to use the "Login With Facebook" button and enter their Facebook credentials into the popup that appears. That's a requirement of Facebook and not something we can work around. If they are able to use the standard username/password form with Joomla, then it'd be possible to actually capture the user's email address and password for Facebook, which would be a security and privacy issue.

Hope that explains, but if I misunderstood the question, or you have other comments, just let me know!

Thanks,
Alex
