The easiest way to authenticate with Facebook is to enable the SCLogin module and use the "Facebook" button in it to login on the front-end. If your Facebook email address matches up with an existing Joomla account, the Facebook account should be automatically linked to it and you should be good to go.

I hope that helps, but if you're running into issues with the above, or have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks, that was helpful. I changed the log-in type from jomsocial to jfbconnect. When I logged in via the facebook button my jomsocial account was linked to my facebook account. Now when I try to make myself the owner of the facebook channel I get this message: "The selected user has not granted the "manage_pages" permission. Please have them login on the front-end of the site and accept the correct permission." I can't find where to grant the manage pages permission through the front end of the site. Where do I find the dialog that lets me do this?

Forget the last question - I realized I needed to create a jfbconnect menu where I can change settings etc.
