Facebook has officially launched its new “registration tool” for third-party websites. This powerful plugin allows websites to insert a single line of code to create a registration form which pre-populates fields with a user’s Facebook data.
Introduction
The registration tool allows users to easily sign up for your website with their Facebook account. The tool is a simple iframe that you can drop into your page. When logged into Facebook, users see a form that is pre-filled with their Facebook information where appropriate.
The registration tool gives you the flexibility to ask for additional information which is not available through the Facebook API (e.g. favorite movie).
The tool also allows users who do not have a Facebook account, or do not wish to sign up for your site using Facebook to use the same form as those who are connecting with Facebook.
This eliminates the need to provide two separate login experiences.
The key benefits :
Registration forms will be auto-populated and hence the sign up process will be quicker and all your users can now quickly login with Facebook while you still gain access to the user data.
