Facebook Token Renewal

71 views Asked by At

My team have developed an App, in which we are using the Facebook Authentication Tokens to retrieve the data from a Facebook and then display it on our App and it is working fine.

The problem which I am facing is that if the Password of Facebook Account is changed then the API Token also become useless, which is an obvious thing.

But is it possible that when a user updates his/her Facebook Account Credentials then the API Token also gets updated? i.e. I don't want to go through the Token Generation Process, every time the password is changed.

No, that is not possible.

When the user changes their password, all their existing tokens get invalidated on purpose.

They will have to go through the login flow again, to create a new token.
