You can simply change the password of the Test User by issuing a POST request to this URL

https://graph.facebook.com/TEST_USER_ID?password=NEW_PASSWORD&name=NEW_NAME&method=post&access_token=APP_ACCESS_TOKEN

    Is it possible to login to facebook directly (facebook.com) using the test user account created using the Facebook Developer app feature (Roles / Create test users)? What password should I use? I understand we can use the "Switch to " option after logging in as myself to facebook, but I want to be able to login directly using the test user accounts, so that I can provide these user details for other testers who do need to use their personal facebook account in any way related to the testing of the application.

    Thanks a lot, it worked like a charm. In case anyone else come looking for more details, I first logged in as myself to Facebook then did a switch to the test user and then accessed my canvas app , looked at my application log file where I log the oauth token (for the new request from the test user) and then used that as the APP_ACCESS_TOKEN in the above post method.
