Is there a way to hide the 'X friends and Y people use this app' in our Facebook authentication page?

I don’t really know, but I would try turning “social discovery” off in the advanced app settings.
“Developers of app associated with more personal behavior such as dating, weight management or pregnancy, can turn these stories [Discovery stories published in feed if user starts using an app] off by disabling the social discovery field in the App Dashboard in the ‘On Facebook’ tab under the ‘Canvas’ section.” [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/]
Would be only consistent if this disabled displaying “friends who use this app” as well. But with Facebook, you never know, so just give it a try.
If this doesn’t work, then I don’t know of any other way to do that.

No, this is not a configurable part of the Auth Dialog currently.

Well indeed Facebook is changing again and again. In the button, set show_faces to false. This works for me now, hope this works for you too.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<fb:login-button
perms="email"
width="width_value"
show_faces="false"
autologoutlink="true"
size="medium">
Login with Facebook
</fb:login-button>

The question was about the authentication dialog, not the login button plugin – Igy Oct 08 '12 at 16:16
