Answer 1

if you want to get picture for facebook

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
    if (typeof(user.services.facebook) != "undefined") {
        user.services.facebook.picture = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + user.services.facebook.id + "/picture/?type=large";
    }
    return user;
});

you can to add this helper function

UI.registerHelper("getImageUser", function (userId) {
    var user= Meteor.users.findOne(userId);
    if (user.services)
    {
        if (user.services.facebook)
            return user.services.facebook.picture;
        if (user.services.twitter)
            return user.services.twitter.profile_image_url;
        if (user.services.google)
            return user.services.google.picture;
    }
    else
    {
        return "images/withOutPhoto.png";
    }
});

in your html

<img src="{{getImageUser this._id}}" alt="...">

Use this instead, you don't need an access token or anything special to get their profile picture, just their facebook user id.

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
    if (options.profile) {
        options.profile.picture = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + user.services.facebook.id + "/picture/?type=large";
        user.profile = options.profile;
    }
    return user;
});
