Facebook gets linked account support

Now you can logon to your Facebook account through several providers such as Google, Myspace and OpenId which IMO is great (I’m lazy). Just go to Settings, Account Settings and Linked Accounts. You can even pick multiple providers. One cool part is my openID provider VeriSign can be setup to use two factor authentication to help provide a little more security amongst all of the chaos. See https://pip.verisignlabs.com

Update 1 – As of now Google as a Linked Account is not logging me in though pip.verisignlabs.com is still working well.

Update 2 – My Google account will log me into FaceBook once I have authenticated via Gmail.

    I have linked my google account on facebook through the settings tab and everything. I checked the always allow box and everything went fine when I checked it later. But, when I sign on with google, I still have to sign in through facebook. The linked account doesnt work.

    @D, try clearing your browsers cache, cookies, etc… Maybe there's a stale cookie or something's hung up. Let me know if that works. I've confirmed this works with my account using Firefox and Internet Explorer.
