Linking Facebook to existing accounts?

I notice that Eurogamer now has a "Log in with Facebook" button, but when I click on this it just creates a new blank account. Is there a way to link my existing Eurogamer account with my Facebook account? I tried asking this on Twitter but didn't get any reply so figured I'd try here.

Clicking the Recommend link at the side lets you do some kinda connecty thing. Dunno if that'll link to your account exactly, though.

@warlockuk looks like that is just an extended "Like" function with the ability to post to FB with a comment - I don't think it's the same as what you get when you actually log in with Facebook.

I think he wants it the other way, so Facebook displays his EG activity rather thn EG displaying any Facebook stuff.

@Mr-Brett actually I just wanted to be able to use the "Login using Facebook" function as it's more convenient than having to remember multiple different passwords.

Necro-ing my own thread. I note that it's still not possible to link Facebook to existing accounts.

Sometimes posts may contain links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.
