Facebook dependency for authentication

In many cases, stackoverflow pt being one of them, I log in with Facebook. We now think that I stop wanting to be a part of Facebook and delete my Facebook account. What happens to my account on the sites where I depended on logging in with Facebook?

For example this, in stackoverflow pt:

I lose my account too?

Is there any way to integrate my facebook authenticated account with a new one that I will have to do?

Does Login with facebook still work? I mean, I no longer have facebook but my data is still there to get around cases like this?

I have never experienced or heard/read anything about this eventuality, I would like to know how it is solved

I think you do, because when you log in with the facebook account, it uses an SDK to do it.

The PHP session is a Facebook session, so yes, you will no longer have access. But there are certain websites that take the information and enter it in their database.

Very good documentation on using the SDK:

Documentation on how to store Facebook data in the Database itself

Note: I am sorry to put external links, but it is a lot of documentation to transpose and I think they are quite useful.

  • But is that good? Are we that dependent on Facebook? So if we lose our other accounts I’ll start thinking twice before logging in with facebook

  • Accept benefits and harm, on the one hand you can have a greater centrality of information and in one click you can configure all fields, email, photo, pass, username, additional information, etc... On the other hand, you lose access to the account and goodbye...
