Disconnecting Facebook Without Deleting Account

If you only want to disconnect Facebook Login (without deleting your account), you can do so from Account Settings (/settings/account) using the Disconnect Facebook action. Your account will continue to exist and switch to email/password authentication.

You can also revoke our app's access from your Facebook settings at facebook.com/settings → Apps and Websites. This revokes future access but does not delete data already collected. Please send a deletion request email to fully erase collected data.
