If you are trying to log into VK via Facebook just to avoid linking a phone number to the page, forget about this idea. Today, the technique will no longer work; you will still need to link a valid mobile phone to your profile. However, integration between VK and Facebook has many other advantages.
Today we decided to discuss in detail the topic of logging into Contact via Facebook, so pour some coffee and sit back!
Is it possible to log into VK via Facebook without registration and integration?
Let’s immediately answer a question that interests many: is it possible to log in to VK through Facebook without registration? No, It is Immpossible. You can create a new profile in Contact if you log in via FB, but you will need to attach a phone number and email that were not previously used to it.
In other words, you will, as it were, register again and get another page on VK.
As for integration, it cannot be done today. Previously, through the “My Page” settings in the “Contacts” section, it was possible to link VK with Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Today there is no “Integration with other services” button, only the “Add Instagram” button remains. Note that this is only synchronization. It still won’t work to log in via VK to Insta.
In other words, today only Insta can be connected to Contact, and even then only unilaterally. It is also impossible to set up integration through Instagram itself. By the way, cross-posting between these two social networks also stopped working.
Competition, what can you do...
As for Facebook itself, in the profile settings of this social network you can add a link to a page in Contact, but the accounts will not be linked to each other.
But let’s return to logging in via Facebook - as we wrote above, this option is functioning today.
How to log in via Facebook from a computer?
Logging into Contact via Facebook is not at all difficult, we will provide detailed instructions:
- Go to the start page of the social network: https://vk.com/;

- If you have previously logged into Facebook from this browser, and its settings are set to auto-remember passwords, the key will look like “Log in as Ivan Ivanov”;
- Next, you will need to log in to Facebook (if the browser does not substitute the existing data), enter your username and password;
- If you did everything correctly, a new window will open in which you will be notified that contact information from FB will be imported into the new VK profile;
- If you click on the “Edit” link, you can change your name, email and avatar. To log in, you need to click on the “Continue” button;
- The data will be imported, the process will take some time, please wait;
- Next, a window will appear where you need to check a box confirming your agreement with the requirements and conditions of the social network developers;

- An SMS code will be sent to your phone, enter it in the appropriate field;

How to log into Contact via Facebook from your phone?
Nowadays, an increasing part of the audience is on social networks via mobile. Many people are interested in whether it is possible to access Vkontakte via Facebook from a phone, and the answer to this question will be ambiguous.
On the one hand, the mobile application does not support this option; you will not find the “Login via FaceBook” button in the authorization window.
On the other hand, you can always log into the social network through a mobile browser by opening the desktop version. How convenient it is is up to you to decide, but in our opinion, few people will like to suffer with a small and illegible interface.
So, remember, the answer to the question “How to log into VK via Facebook from a phone” will be more likely negative than positive.
Interesting Facts
Here are some interesting facts on the topic of our review:
- Many well-known services, such as VKontakte, Instagram and Skype, have integrated the Login via FB function - this simplifies logging into the site and attracts new users;
- You can create a new VK page via FB only with mobile phone confirmation, despite the fact that the FB account itself can be registered by e-mail, without the participation of a phone.

Frequent problems and solutions
What difficulties might users encounter when trying to log into a VK page via FaceBook?
- The secret code does not arrive in SMS. In the old days, it was possible to register profiles on social networks through virtual phone numbers; there were such web services. Today you can no longer use their help; the social network security service is not asleep. However, if you managed to register an account with their help then, you don’t have to wait for the SMS, it won’t come. Consider your profile “defective”; you will not be able to enter Contact through it;
- If you try to create a new page using a phone linked to an old one, an error message will also appear. You will be asked to either log into your existing profile or indicate another active mobile phone;
- If the same email is specified in the settings of Facebook and the old Contact account, you can no longer register a new profile for it. Change your email in FaceBook settings;
- Let’s continue to look at why VK can’t be logged in via Facebook, and next we’ll see problems with importing. The latter may not work if your FB page is not filled out properly (for example, you created it in a hurry, just to create a new profile in Contact);
- On a phone you can’t log in from one social network to another using a mobile app – there are no options yet.
security check
Before entering an application, FB checks the application for compliance with network policy. This is a safety measure. Without verification, the application only has access to your name, email, and friends.
What are the benefits:
- Quick registration with your account details and password. Login to the integrated platform in one touch;
- Automatic search for friends in new applications using data from your account;
- Adjusting the transfer of information from the profile to the integrated application;
- Gradual authorization, which allows you to quickly log in with basic profile data, but it is possible to enter additional data.

So, we found out whether it is possible to log into VK through Facebook, and we gave a very clear answer - yes. What does this option do?
- Fast and convenient registration;
- Instant data import;
- Synchronization of contacts from one social platform to another;
- Ability to use the same login/password pair;
- No need to remember input data from different social networks. All you need to do is log in to Facebook on your device, and through it you can go to Contact at any time.
Cross-posting or duplication of posts and entries is no longer valid at the moment. True, you can use the services of special programs and services, but you are unlikely to find free software. If you come across one, think a hundred times about its reliability, because in this case you will be risking two profiles.
Logging into one social network through another is, in principle, safe, because the option is officially permitted by the developers. This means that the site has allocated enough resources to protect the personal data of its users.
The question is different! Repeatedly and suspiciously regularly, Zuckerberg’s company is accused of transferring and leaking information to intelligence agencies and other interested organizations. Of course, she denies this fact, but there is no smoke without fire, right?
What will be your decision? We have no right to advise anything, but we voiced our concerns. Next, decide for yourself. And yes, change your passwords regularly and monitor the activity of your page.
User reviews
We talked in detail about the possibilities of a profile on the popular social network Facebook. Now we invite you to read real reviews collected from different sites. This will help you get a general and complete idea of the resource.
On the site, the overall rating of the social network is 3.14 out of 5.0, which means there are positive and negative responses. User Irinia is quite pleased with the capabilities of Facebook. She notes that there are few Russian users here and she can meet foreigners and join their communities. This gives her the opportunity to develop her language skills and make friends abroad. From her page she can make video and audio calls. And using the settings you can duplicate entries from VK.
But Stanislav D is dissatisfied with the fact that incomprehensible personalities are being recruited as friends. Here you can easily run into scammers and beggars. If you create your own group, you get a lot of blocking and it’s very difficult to get promoted.
On another resource you can read a review from (Matilda88) Mika, who says that Facebook is not very popular in Russia and our citizens prefer to use VK. If the girl had not traveled abroad and added friends there, then the Facebook page would not have been useful to her. But she noted the following advantages:
- convenient display of the news feed;
- keeping personal information private from outsiders;
- the ability to add a person to the “black list” and he will not find your account at all.
There are a lot of negative reviews on another site. Many people talk about constant blocking. For example, when creating a business account, a woman’s profile was blocked after sending a photo. Now she doesn’t know how to enter or delete it. And another user complains about constant password resets. When this happened again, after changing the code, the system blocked it for suspicious activity.
As you can see from the review, registering on the social network Facebook is not difficult if you follow all the rules of the site. The user profile has a lot of different tools for finding friends around the world and communicating with them, as well as posting your photos and videos.
If you are already actively using the resource, then we ask you to share your experience and tell us about the pros and cons of Facebook. Your opinion will help us get a complete picture of its capabilities.
