Passport-Facebook authentication is not providing email for all Facebook accounts

Question

I am using Passport-Facebook authentication.

  passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
            clientID: \'CLIENT_ID\',
            clientSecret: \'CLIENT_SECRET\         


        

Answer 1

When you are authenticating use something similar to this. You need to use add 'email' in the scope when you authenticate.

app.get('/auth/facebook',
passport.authenticate('facebook', { scope: ['email']}),
    function(req, res){
});

That has worked for me.

Here were a few links that helped me out.
