So I am creating a website that basically allows user to sign up using their facebook account/facebook connect and just a traditional sign up (username, password). Now currently my table looks like this:

uid, username, password, email

I was thinking of how can I change this table structure to incorporate the facebook account connect as it doesn’t have any username or password in it, should I just store the email and leave the username and password blank? How do other sites that have such login structure save this information?

    You’ll really want to store the facebook_id as well, for which I recommend using a bigint.

    You might also want to add a status column that indicates whether this user account was created via email address or facebook_id, so that at login time you know which to check. Alternately, you could just check the one that you have credentials for.
