Today I need to create a new facebook app, since I need the app_id for the social plugins.
I created a facebook "page" account for my product's website before, but I found that I can't create a new app by using the "page" account:
Create Facebook App:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps
I have to login with normal user account in order to create a new app, so I am very confused now... Should I re-create a new user account and then create a facebook app? But what to do with my existing "page" account then?
I just want to bind everything together, hopefully one facebook account to bind the "app" and the "page".
By the way, do users know who (account) created that App?
Thanks!!
You cannot create a Facebook application as a Facebook page. You cannot access any other application as a Facebook page. If you try to open an application when you're acting as a FB page, you'll be ask to switch back to your regular account.
A page identity is not an account. You cannot even login to FB as a page, you must login with your user account and then switch to page mode. It's only an identity you can use to comment or post. They only introduced recently the messaging system for pages and it's still very buggy.
You don't need a new account. You can use the same account you used to create the FB page to create the FB app. Everything will be bound to your normal user account.
EDIT
Since you add a question to your post: you can create the application and use your user account as owner. Or you can create the app using a company name, so your user account will not be listed in the application.

Our is a very old app and the developers who did the Facebook login integration are no longer working with us. So we can’t get into our Facebook Developer account because no one in the team has access.
Can we just create a new Facebook Developer account and update our integration ID to match the new account ?
Are there any risks? One thing I’m wondering about is if we do make this change if all the users who have previously registered via Facebook login need to register with us again because it is a new ID. But on the other hand, it might work since it is still the same App Id and the same Facebook user account.
Please help.
I am currently using a test user (created the facebook devs panel), to set up a fb page, that i need to link to another Instagram Business page.
I already created a fake ig business account using this test user. The proble is that every time i go to the fb business panel to link the other ig account i get this this error.
I need this because i have to go throw the App Review in order to get the permissions that i need for my app, in order to get aproved facebook tells you to record yourself with a test user doing all the app process. But i can´t do this if the test user doesnt have a IG Business account linked to it.
I have created 2 Facebook apps, one is old app, other one is new facebook app.
They works both, but i want to all which user are login on old app.that user can be able to login on new app, it is possible ?
Login cannot be moved over to another App. Users need to authorize the new App again. You can use the Business Mapping api to identify users between two Apps: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/for-business
I tried, but it always tries to redirect me to my personal account
The app belongs to me. I created it with my personal account. I would like to let companies connect to the app with their page accounts, not as people - it would be more convenient for brands that way.
To test it, I created my own page, and tried to register myself as an app user with, but it did not work.
You cannot connect to a Facebook app as a Page or through business account as for some reason Facebook doesn't allows you to connect applications with the business account or Page. You can't even like a page using the like box if you are using business account.
I want to create an App for a Facebook page I'm developing but when I click on the link at the top called 'Apps' it just redirects me to the Facebook page. I have tried using different browsers and it does the same.
What is happening and how can it be resolved?
Can I use another Facebook account ie my own one to create the App and then add it to someone elses or does it have to be the owner of the Facebook page?

You have to use your personal account. Only user accounts can be developers – not pages.
(And you have to verify your account with Facebook – either via text message to mobile, or credit card.)
