When you create a New ASP.NET Project in VS 2013 and choose Individual Accounts, the template shows how you can login with Social providers such as Microsoft Account, Facebook, Google and Twitter. When you login with these Social Providers such as Facebook, you can request more information about the user such as the User\u2019s picture, friends etc. and if the user allows your app to access this data then you can get this information and provide a rich experience in your site.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the following post I am going to show you how you can request more data (or scopes) when a user logs in via Facebook provider. This post assumes that you have enabled Facebook login and are familiar with the basic walkthrough of Facebook Login.  You can visit <\/font><\/span>http:\/\/www.asp.net\/mvc\/tutorials\/mvc-5\/create-an-aspnet-mvc-5-app-with-facebook-and-google-oauth2-and-openid-sign-on<\/font><\/span><\/a> to see a basic walkthrough on how to enable Facebook Login in the template.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
