[What Is Facebook Mobile Easy Login
Facunda Ganesh
I'm trying to integrate posting to one's wall from within my app. I already have an area where the user can save his/her username and password (encrypted). I would like my program to recall the saved username and password, pass that to Facebook for authentication, and then allow the app to post simple text (maybe a link too) to the user's wall.
That said, I've read everything on the developer pages at Facebook (the api looks completely foreign to me... I've never done any type of web app development before... just desktop apps), and experimented with the Java libraries here but to be honest, I don't understand any of the various implementations. Some claim to be simple to use, but apparently they are all way above my head.
I've even tried messing with the official Facebook Android SDK, but that uses a webview interface, and I can't pass in the username and password for easy authentication. Plus, I'm still clueless as to how to post to the wall even after correct authentication.
I found a solution (see below), though the only thing missing is the ability to auto-populate the login text boxes with the data I have stored in the app. The official Facebook Android SDK may not allow for this. I'll keep looking into it.
Facebook recently updated the source code and I noticed the icon file caused resource id conflicts with my projects (Android 1.5+). My solution is to forget about exporting as a jar. Instead, copy the Facebook "com" folder directly into your app's "src" folder (i.e. "com.facebook.android" should be a package in your app... right alongside your source files). If you already have a "com" folder in your "src" folder, don't worry about any dialog boxes that appear about overwriting files, none of your source files should be overwritten. Go back into Eclipse, and refresh the "src" folder and "com.facebook.android" should now be listed as a package. Copy one of the included Facebook icons to your app's "drawable" folder and refresh that as well. Eclipse will complain about the "FbDialog.java" file... just add an import pointing to your app's "R" file to the header of that file (e.g. if your app's package name is "com.android.myapp," then add this: "import com.android.myapp.R;"). Go to #5 if you needed to do this.
Instead of asking for your clients' login (remember, never do that!), or getting individually added via your personal Facebook account to your clients' page or ad account, requesting access as a Facebook Partner is optimal.
If you want to build a lasting client relationship based on trust, you have to be transparent with your client. Getting added as a Partner to their Business Manager/Portfolio means that your client remains in control and always has the ability to see what changes you are making.
Some agencies and freelancers are worried that your client might "steal" your secret tactics. Trust me, all the secrets are out. Your client is trusting you because they don't (and can't) do it themselves, not to steal your secret playbook!
Your client retains ownership over their assets and data using Meta Business Manager, rather than connecting your personal Facebook account. You are also not collecting data in your account and avoid any liability for a GDPR breach.
When the inevitable happens, you don't want to be the holder of all the keys. You want an easy way out, so if the next agency needs access to an account, you are not the one who has to give it to them. We've all been there. Just keep it simple and leave ownership of assets with your client.
Meta Business Manager (or Meta Business Suite) allow you to manage and access all Facebook business assets in one central place. While clients often don't have Meta Business Manager set up, especially if they don't have a Facebook ad account, it is highly advisable for them to set this up.
With our tool Leadsie, you don't need to worry about this bit ? Your client will be walked through the creation of a Meta Business Manager, their assets will be automatically added and shared with you.
Step 7. Choose the asset types you require access to and then the permissions you need (you will need to request the permissions separately for each asset type you want access to: pages, ad accounts, catalogs, datasets, and Instagram accounts).
Retrieving a Facebook account is a relatively simple process that involves the use of a code that is sent to your email or phone number to help confirm that you own the account.

To set up security measures to make your account more secure, Facebook will suggest you turn on the two steps-authentication. It will request that you choose a method for receiving security codes in case you would like to log into your account with a different device or browser. However, if you add more than two phone numbers or emails, your account will be flagged as suspicious by Facebook, and as such your account can be locked temporarily.
If you notice you are not receiving a Facebook password reset code email in your mailbox, it means that the current email address you are expecting the mail to come through is not linked to your Facebook account. To resolve facebook not sending code to email, you will have to either receive the password reset code via the code generator as outlined above or you receive it via SMS.
