I wanna know if is posible or someone know if I can change password of my account in Facebook, Twitter and Google+ by using their own APIs?
It looks like this has been answered for google (gmail) at the following link: API for changing Gmail password
Also, it will vary from site to site, so do some research for each site you are interested in changing your password(s) for.
FYI, please do some research first before asking a question on Stack Overflow.

Please help me to solve the issue.
The issue is,
After creating a Facebook business account for WhatsApp business API service. I did not found/see the menu of WhatsApp account setting in this. How to enable this menu. Could you please advice?
I am facing this same issue but as per the documentation here, Facebook is releasing this feature gradually and is not currently available to all the users.
This feature is gradually rolling out and may not be available to you right now.
i know it is a very old post but still people searching for information about this question... it is very simple answer just change the category on your Facebook page.. Whatsapp button will show again
I am looking for a way to connect to facebook by allowing the user to enter in their username and password and have our app connect to their account and get their contacts so that they can invite them to join their group on our site. I have written a facebook app before, but this is not an app as much as it is a connector so that they can invite all their friends or just some to the site we are working on.
I have seen several other sites do this and also connect to Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail contacts. I dont think they are using Facebook Connect to do this since it is so new, but they may be.
Any solution in any language is fine as I can port whatever example to use C#. I cannot find anything specifically on Google or Facebook to address this specific problem. Any help is appreciated.
I saw a first answer get removed that had suggested i might need to scrape the friends page. The more I look around, this might be what i need to do. Any other way i think will require the person to add it as an app. I am wondering how a answer can get removed, maybe that user deleted it.
Try This
Not sure if its possible explicitly but there are indirect ways to do it!!!
Here is another article that seems to cover what you want to do http://facebook-developer.net/2008/02/20/allow-your-users-to-invite-their-friends/
I run a small business and we are about to overhaul our website and forum. I have looked through the Q&A in this section and havent found anything yet. Is it possible to allow my customers to sign in to my forum on my website through facebook?
yes it is possible.
you can use this http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web/.
here you can find facebook API for your site as your requirement.
Maybe instead of trying to update your current one, which can be a nightmate, you could start from scratch and import any of the old users or posts you need.
The link below is an example of SMF forum and SA facebook integration but slightly modified to allow full integration.

My app is about sharing content and i want to give users the ability to share their comments about the content in the app... not a review or feedback to me but for sharing with other users.
I'm not sure on the exact word for it but I mean something like a talkback or a wallpost or a response like there is an option leave a comment here in stack overflow.
Anyway my question is if anyone knows of a way to do that?
I thought about using the Facebook graph api but never seen something like this before.
Thanks
UPDATE
found a great blog about disqus platform that shows how to add a comment section to an app using the disqus platform
thanks to superjessi for the idea..
You may want to look into the Disqus API. They're widely used for a commenting system and don't require users to make a new account, Disqus accounts work anywhere Disqus is used. I have seen other apps use it, and it seems to work beautifully.
What prevents you from storing those comments in your own database? Then you just have to design a standard UIView to enter the comments and show the comments in a WebView or an UIView.

Not answering the question but hopefully providing some insight...
It's features like this that teach people that it is ok to enter their username and password for site A on a form from site B. This is most definitely not ok. Please do not make people think it is.
But maybe the Facebook API allows you to circumvent this problem, by making people log into Facebook itself to give your app access. A slight but important difference.
You can use Facebook Connect 'Account Linking'.
Python/Django example from Facebook developers wiki:
Page:
def invite_friends(request):
#HTML escape function for invitation content.
from cgi import escape
facebook_uid = request.facebook.uid
# Convert the array of friends into a comma-delimeted string.
exclude_ids = ",".join([str(a) for a in request.facebook.friends.getAppUsers()])
# Prepare the invitation text that all invited users will receive.
content = """<fb:name uid="%s" firstnameonly="true" shownetwork="false"/> wants to invite you to play Online board games, <fb:req-choice url="%s" label="Put Online Gaming and Video Chat on your profile!"/>""" % (facebook_uid, request.facebook.get_add_url())
invitation_content = escape(content, True)
return render_to_response('facebook/invite_friends.fbml',
{'content': invitation_content, 'exclude_ids': exclude_ids })
Template:
<fb:request-form action="http://apps.facebook.com/livevideochat/?skipped=1"
method="POST" invite="true" type="Online Games"
content="{{ content }}">
<fb:multi-friend-selector max="20"
actiontext="Here are your friends who aren't using Online Games and Live Video Chat. Invite them to play Games Online today!"
showborder="true" rows="5" exclude_ids="{{ exclude_ids }}"> </fb:request-form>
I asked this question awhile ago and before facebook connect was live and well. The best way to really do this is using facebook connect.

I am currently using this on our live site and using the Facebook Developer Toolkit for .NET on Codeplex here:

Good luck!
I looked up that it is alright to answer my own post, so here it is.
It turns out that you will have to scrape the friends list which is not legal in facebook terms of use. So we will not be doing this for our sites. Here are a few articles that show what happens when you don't play by the rules. Plaxo tested their scraping with Scoble and Facebook shut down Scobles account in January of this year.

Seems like Facebook has an api for this. Check this blog here.

Here is an open source PHP 5 tool to let you import contacts from both e-mail and some social networks including Facebook: OpenInviter is an open source PHP class, written in PHP5, for importing contacts from most of the well-known e-mail providers & social networks.
Just import them into Yahoo using FB Connect. All better? No screen scraping, no FB violations. Done.
