Managing your Facebook connection to Couchsurfing – Couchsurfing FAQs

Why should I link my Facebook account with my Couchsurfing account?

If you link your Facebook account with your Couchsurfing account you will be able to log in to Couchsurfing with one click (using the "Log in with Facebook" button) and you will also be able to quickly add your Facebook friends that use Couchsurfing as Couchsurfing friends.

Couchsurfing never shares any of the actions that you do on Couchsurfing with Facebook without your knowledge. Also, you can still use your email address and password to Login to the Couchsurfing site even after you set up your Facebook login.

How do I link my active CS account with my Facebook account?

In order to connect your Couchsurfing account to your Facebook account, use the "Connect to Facebook" button found on your Dashboard, or you can go to the Social Networks page within your Account & Settings.

If you are not logged in to your Facebook profile when you click on this button, you will be prompted to do so in a new window.
