    If Facebook is doing OpenID (which I thought was the plan) then attempts to log on elsewhere with your Facebook OpenID should take you back to a facebook server for the actual login process (and if they do it right there will be various ways to confirm this)....


    Oh, wait, we are talking about Facebook?


    Nevermind.
