How is this supposed to work? Does this create a temporary FB profile, and you can then log in via FB's OAuth?

- whatusername 12y agoI would imagine similar to a SAML Persistent Name Alias. facebook knows who you are - but they just send a non-identifying string/GUID to the service who is trying to log you in. This is a consistent ID (so that service can build a profile) - but it does not contain any identifying data.
- yeldarb 12y agoBasically. Facebook already switched to using "app scoped ids" last year. So each app gets a different unique identifier for a Facebook user.
