 * I want users to register on my site using Facebook only, but for example, **if
   there is one John Smith already registered (with ‘johnsmith’ username automatically
   assigned), then completely different person whos name is also John Smith, can
   login to previously created John Smith’s account. **
 * I tested it, I created another Facebook account for myself with the same first
   and last name, but with different email address. And I logged in to previously
   created account with my original Facebook account without problem, but hey – 
   it’s a big problem. I’m not even redirected to Facebook.
 * I guess, the best method to fix this would be to add user ID to username as prefix..?
   In my situation, usernames doesn’t matter , they can be ugly. All I want is that
   people can register with firstname/lastname and their email.
 * Maybe the plugin author can help with this?
    Thanks!
