Now you need to do the verification from the same screen. For verification please follow this guideline.

After verification you’ll get the verified tag.

Now go to the Use Cases>>Customize>>Facebook Login>>Settings .

Enable Client OAuth Login and Web OAuth Login. After that give the callback URL like https://your_domain/socialite/customer/facebook/callback on the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs input field. Customers will be redirected to this URL after authentication. You can ignore the rest of the settings and click Save Changes.

Then go to the App Reviews > Permissions & Features and make sure “email” & “public_profile” have active advanced-level access. Verification is required to activate this.
