Fetching Client ID and Client Secret in Facebook

Federated login allows portal users to sign into your applications using a single set of credentials from Facebook. Here, Facebook acts as an Identity Provider (IdP) to verify the user's identity. This eliminates the need for users to create and manage multiple accounts and passwords across different platforms.
