How do I skip this page(see attachment) when I'm using facebook login? I'm trying to get my facebook actions approved but this is what they are telling me below...

"Hey
If the user is using Facebook login, then there should not be need to make another username and password. Please learn more about it here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/userexperience#avoidunnecessarysteps
I've attached some screenshots that may help you understand my response better. You can find them here: https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.8008-6/18761940_114142322516996_5701490775301292032_n.png?oh=600f7e490b7cdb325d9f8d0a0e565feb&oe=59E98CC6
Hi Mark Clarke,

Regarding your inquiry, unfortunately there is no setting to skip the page for newly login facebook user as we want to synchronize if the user is already registered in the EasySocial before 'link my account' or newly user into your site without registered EasySocial previously 'create my account'.

It does the same thing even with users that's already registered with facebook. Why does it have to pop up every single login? Facebook won't approve it's kind of a useless feature.

Also, like facebook is saying. If it's a newly registered user. Why do they have to go through this step?

Maybe i can simplify the reason why we MUST have this step when the user sign in via Facebook on the site.

One of the simple scenario, if the existing users already become your site member without sync with their Facebook yet, it actually needed this pop up step when they sign in via Facebook, in order to allow user to think whether they need to sync with their Facebook user account to their existing user account which already registered on the site or not.

If yes, they need to enter their existing user account username and password for this sync step.

I do understand what you are saying and see how it makes sense to link the already existing users. My point is, your way is basically useless if it's causing facebook to disapprove the app because of this extra step. A better way to do it would be automatically linking accounts based on existing email address. JFBConnect has done this and it works perfectly. You can see attached image for a better understanding. I would have used JFBConnect third party extension instead of the built in facebook version that you guys provide but currently they do not import users location from facebook which is very important to our website. I believe you guys should reconsider this extra step with a better solution which complies with facebook's rules and requirements, otherwise it's useless and time consuming for some users.
