Overview

Integrating Facebook as an identity provider offers your users a convenient and secure way to access your Aikeedo application. This feature leverages Facebook’s OAuth 2.0 protocol, ensuring a streamlined authentication process while maintaining high security standards.
Before you begin, ensure you have admin access to your Aikeedo application and a Facebook Developer account for setting up the OAuth integration.
