Facebook wants me to use OAuth 2.0. What do I do?
We received the following message from Facebook on one of our Tab pages for a business. The page is just a simple graphic using an iframe canvas and is hosted on an https:// URL, so I really don't know what else I'm supposed to do.
Surely, I'm not the only one to encounter this problem! Can you tell me what action I need to take?

Reminder: Upgrade Your App to OAuth 2.0 and HTTPS by October 1st. In May
we announced that all apps on Facebook need to support OAuth 2.0 and HTTPS
to make the platform more secure.
All apps, including page tab apps, must migrate to OAuth 2.0 for
authentication. The old SDKs, including the old JavaScript SDK
(FeatureLoader.js) and old iOS SDK (facebook-iphone-sdk) will no longer
work. In addition, iframe Canvas and Page Tab apps must support HTTPS and
provide a secure canvas or secure page tab URL.

Unfortunately, I no longer have admin access to the page so I cannot verify whether or not this fixes the problem, but it logically makes sense that this would be the issue given that all of the other pages hosted on the server are fine. Thank you.
My recommendation to meet this requirement: go to godaddy and purchase a really cheap SSL certificate. I believe the cheapest is $69.99 per year, and then have this installed on your app site. Then go into the app settings (developers.facebook.com/a
Hope this helps.
