This post reminded me to look for open source code to handle multi-logins, I'm currently in the planning stage of a project. These seem quite comprehensive. Is there any reason why I would be better off rolling my own code?

If you actually need to use the user's Facebook information I suggest you use Koala and the JS login flow, otherwise omniauth is a good solution.

On the node.js side - just look at everyauth and connect-auth examples - they didn't even work on my computer! there's another lesser known library called passport.js that does the job very well: http://passportjs.org/
