The easiest way is to remove the if statements that check is they are a Facebook Connect user in the Templates relating to the password and email changing. Then they use the proxy email to get the password and then change the password and email address.

This will not prevent them logging in with their Facebook account, rather lets them login via a username and password or their facebook credentials

wow, tks for the analysis. pretty huge disadvantage of using this then. we cld potentially lose lots of members if FB decides that it was not profitable to them to allow external connections. we wld be at their mercy.....

tough decision :erm:
