Login with Facebook account without an email address?

Facebook does allow accounts to be created with a phone number. It's not something they heavily promote, but some of their apps (like messenger) make this easier/more clear than doing on the facebook.com site.

JFBConnect has support for social networks that don't have an email address. If you register with an account with no email address, JFBConnect will redirect you to it's mini-registration form where you can add an email address to use with the account. The mini-registration flow is the same as if you set the "Enable Automatic Account Registration" setting to 'No'.

As noted, there are a few social networks that we integrate with, like Amazon and Instagram, that don't allow the email address of the user to be imported. Twitter also used to be this way, but they eventually allowed email address import. Because of those social networks, we've had support to push users through a quick form for adding email addresses for a long time.

Ultimately though, yes, the user will have to have an email associated with their account. That's a Joomla requirement. Once the mini-registration form is complete (which can be setup to only ask for the user's email address), the user will be able to login with their social network account from that point forward.

I hope that helps explain,

Ahh.. I understand more now. When you use the Registration Component option in JFBConnect, we basically hand as much information as we can off to the extension you select. Unfortunately, if the extension has issues with that data or doesn't pre-populate the fields properly, there's not much we can do about that. We've had some issues with EasySocial in this regard in that, if you go through their registration flow, there are some fields that they don't let us pre-populate. It's just something their component wasn't built to consider since that data usually isn't pre-populated.

Once the user fills out the profile data, the new account should be connected to their Facebook account properly and, after that, they can log in that way. However, it may be that, if you use the EasySocial Registration flow and a user doesn't have an email, they may have to go through the full registration flow.

I hope that helps explain further.

Thanks,
