Facebook now requires "Valid OAuth redirect URIs" to be https.

To use https locally (localhost:3000), I used [ngrok][1] which allows you to use https by providing a tunnel. To do this:

1. I went to their website and downloaded their program
2. I extracted the file for the program
3. In my console, I went into the directory where ngrok was extracted to and entered 'grok http 3000' on my Windows machine, others may use './grok http 3000'
4. After entering that, ngrok provided a https address which I put into the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs field in Facebook
5. Then I started my server and was able to access it using that https address instead of localhost:3000
