809136 - [Facebook] Define and implement a mechanism to deal with user password changes

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect, P1)

Description

[Jose Manuel Cantera]

The scenario is the following:

The user is in the steady state i.e. he has imported some friends linked some others and he is no more worried about FB specifics because he knows all his friend info will be updated automatically sooner or later. 

One day she decides to change her password. The password change means that the token will be invalidated and that the user will need to re-login to FB. However, if this is not noticed to the user the FB automatic sync process would be failing and we will not be meeting the contractual requirements from FB. 

Thus, we need to define a mechanism to notify the user that she should re-login to FB as soon as possible. 

I would suggest we use the notifications bar to deal with this. Thus, FB Sync process will add a new notification indicating that a FB re-login is needed. Once that relogin happens the Sync process could continue as usual. 

Rafa, what do you think?

If a user changes the password in FB, she gets to choose whether to be logged out of 3rd parties or not.

If she opts to be logged out, she already knows there'll be issues with connected apps. As for us, I think it should be enough to display *one* passive notification indicating that the user needs to re-log into FB.

If she doesn't, everything's fine :)
