Question

Answer 1

You need to specify the scope: "email". Refer the below code.

Facebook authentication route:

// auth facebook
router.get("/auth/facebook", passport.authenticate("facebook", {
  scope: "email"
}));

and while configuring the FacebookStrategy, you need to also specify the profileFields.

passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
  callbackURL: "http://localhost:5000/auth/facebook/redirect",
  clientID: keys.facebook.clientID,
  clientSecret: keys.facebook.clientSecret,
  profileFields: ['id', 'displayName', 'photos', 'email', 'gender', 'name']
}, (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) => {
   // logic 
}))
