If you use the Okta social integrations (including Facebook), people can use the external social provider of their choice, but, since it flows through okta you get an okta minted access token. This means that on one platform, I could login with username and password and on another, I could login with Facebook and (a) it would all be the same user from the perspective of okta and (b) the okta access token could be validated at the API regardless of how they authenticated.
