I'm using the dev version 3. I found how to create drupal accounts when you FB connect, but I'd like too to associate existing drupal accounts to FB account.

Is this possible ? I get a message when a few the account that I'm not associated with a FB account, but haven't found a way of associating it.

Either get the user to log into your site first and then authorize the application, or use modules/fb/contrib/fb_register.module.

It works. Maps existing accounts to facebook accounts if either
