How to integrate Facebook into WordPress registration/login?

Here’s what we hope to accomplish: a WordPress site that will allow users to register/login EITHER with Facebook OR WordPress and have the same access to posts/pages/content. From all the research thus far, this doesn’t seem trivial…

Here’s our requirements:

User Registration

Facebook

  • New users can connect with Facebook by clicking a button and then granting the requested permissions to our Facebook App. The permission-grant is a one-time event.
  • They will have to log into Facebook if they aren’t already.
  • When they connect for the first time a WordPress account will automatically be created for them. This integrates Facebook and WordPress.
  • This free plugin may be a good starting point to integrate the two systems – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/
  • Here’s another one that only handles the WordPress account creation based on a Facebook session. What it’s lacking is the ability to use the Facebook session to login after registration (it requries the WordPress username/password). http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-registration-tool/

WordPress

  • If the users doesn’t have a Facebook account or chooses not to connect through Facebook, they can manually create a WordPress account.
  • Required fields are: username, email, password

User Login

Facebook

  • If the user has already granted permissions to our Facebook App, they will be auto-logged-in if they have an active Facebook session and visit our website.
  • Otherwise, the user will have to first log in to Facebook.

WordPress

  • The user can choose to login with the username/password they created.

Any words of wisdom on how we can accomplish these requirements?
