One thing I noticed is that while this module only interfaces with comment forms it does create authenticated users in the database. The problem is that it does not store the email address of the user. So the person is not a real authenticated user and they cannot receive emails. It seems to me that if the module is going to store the username information that it should include the email address (and perhaps the picture from their Google profile) so the person's account can take part in other functions of the site such as friend requests.

Also, the password that is saved in Drupal doesn't match with that one used to login with GFC... So, if a user want to recuperate the password to login directly through the Drupal site, he/she can't!

In this case may be incompatibility, since in the user table the field is filled.

This is an issue with FriendConnect's OpenSocial API. The "emails" profile field is an optional field so there is no reliable way of getting e-mail with FriendConnect. Essentially it makes FriendConnect useless for Drupal as it is (at least it's more usable than openid).

The only work around would be to require the user to enter their e-mail address in order to register.
