A Connect with Facebook button is displayed on a selected module position, where users can easily Login or Register by click on it.
If you already have lots of users in Joomla, they don't need to create new account, It has option to auto link people with same email address or have them manually link it.
After registration they are automatically logged in! Next time they visit your site, they can either click Facebook connect button or use temp password/username already sent in their email.
Features

This extension worked great! I have been waiting for someone to write a Facebook Connect extension that is free of charge. This one worked!
I hope in your next project update, you add a functionality to integrate Facebook data with Jomsocial, K2, and Community Builder! Thanks.

I've tried several Facebook-Login extensions. No one actually worked for me and the support was dreadful.
But then I got to this one and it was unbelievable. It worked from the first installation onwards. I even didn't need to contact support. It's recommendable to everyone who wants to have a nice backend administration and a stunning frontend experience.
Keep going. Great Work!

I would say for a free product it is damn good. I donated just because he is free and I like that. I also donated because it is a good product that should really already be a part of joomla.
Thank you Sir
Thank you Sir

Thank you for your support, people like you keeps us going.
I am very much thankful to the developer of this extension.
I have a suggestion,
* When user gets authenticated from fb and record is save in local users table then there must be save a temporaray password for joomla login and password should be emailed to the user..
I hope developer will consider it.

The component is very easy and fast to configure and works really great.
Unfortunately, the module’s HTML is really messed up and it doesn't work with the Bright Book template. I couldn't fix it in about 2 hours trying, so I finally decided to uninstall the component and the module :(.

I got it to work with minimal knowledge of the facebook API, even though I had to do some digging around. Mostly everything is explained, but I was confused when I was asked about a API ID and a API Secret (hint: you have to create a facebook application for this to work).
Unfortunataly I found that, once logged in, a log out button is needed, and maybe some info. When a user is logged in, only his picture is displayed, nothing more, not even his name. Hopefully that will be added in the future.
Also has a nice backend to check out which users logged in, and you can even get their emails and basic info for several stuff.
I'll be looking forward for more development on this one!
Thanks Saaraan!

I was looking for a solution to allow users to have more ease in registering on my site and therefore was looking for a facebook connect solution, with this extension I can use Kunena and have users use their facebook account to register. G-R-E-A-T! Thanks very much for this extension :)
I needed an application that would install seamlessly and work out of the box without a lot of forum-shopping for answers to technical problems. This one did just that!! And its free!! Thanks to the developer. When I find a free app that works like this, I make it my business to donate. This one clearly deserves it. Great job!!
This is such a great component, especially because it is free! Some more customizability in the back end of the component and module would always make it better, but you seriously have done a great job as it is!
Maybe a checkbox to select if the component should auto publish to the users facebook profile? or maybe a checkbox to allow the user to choose this?
I'm not complaining at all! This is such a great component! Only suggesting! Keep it up!

Not easy to deal with Facebook Open Graph API - This extension does a very good job in this area, the development is up2date, and it's free! I use it for http://starthilfeberlin.de/ - a community site. A pleasure.
In addition, I've created 'xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"'-files containing certain FB plugins, which are embedded in wrapper modules ... guess a lot more could be done.
