Not at all. The 2 plugins are fully compatible each other.

The missing (free) bridge MyBB <--> Facebook becomes real!
MyFacebook Connect is a plugin which lets you login and register through Facebook on any MyBB installation.
Download it from the Mods Site or from GitHub*, or try it on the test board!
I've spent almost 1 month developing this plugin but it totally worth my efforts. With it, you can easily let your users register and login using their Facebook accounts: it differs from existing (both free and paid) plugins thanks to the provided PHP SDK and a lightweight integration. A must-have for almost every community and compatible with the latest MyBB releases!
As an admin, you can decide to use two different types of registration: Fast Registration lets you register through Facebook with only one click and one front-end redirect. This means that every user who would like to login into your board and he doesn't have a registered account will be registered and logged in with a single click of a button. If he has already an account registered, he'll be just logged in and his account will be linked to his Facebook one. If he has already an account and its already linked as well, he'll be just logged in.
With Fast Registration option disabled, every user who hasn't got a registered account and logs in with Facebook will be prompted to choose a new username and eventually an email address different from his Facebook one. By default, inputs will be filled with his existing Facebook data but they'll be able to choose whatever username and email they'll want. In addition to this they'll be asked to select what data to import from Facebook, respecting their privacy in a better way than the simple one-click registration process.
Thanks to all the guys who tested my plugin and thanks to all of them who will test my future versions.

Feature listing
At the moment, MyFacebook Connect comes with the following features:

- Automatically synchronizes Facebook account data with MyBB account, including avatar, birthday and cover (if Profile Pictures plugin is installed)
- 6 dedicated settings that users can manage and change to whatever they like, controlling what data to sync with their Facebook accounts
- Existing users can link their Facebook accounts to their accounts on your board within their User Control Panel and with the click of a button, without necessarily create a new account from scratch (or ask admins to merge their accounts)
