What is the new Account Center on Facebook?
Can I use Fb Login across multiple apps with one tap?
What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Fb Login?
Update: Disabled some Chrome extensions and Facebook web more stable and no logout/ins. Got Android app logged in the next day. Maybe 2FA codes were rejected through too many login attempts? All working normally now though.
The last few weeks Facebook on Chrome has locked up while loading pages every 5 or 10 minutes. It does respond eventually and seems to be normal until the next time. Today it locked up and then said "something went wrong" and logged me out completely (for the first time in years).
I tried logging in again and the "other device" confirmation did nothing, the WhatsApp, Google Authenticator and Backup Codes all failed. I did get back in eventually (I can't remember how, maybe one of the other device links still worked), but then it logged out on the Android app and I can't log back in because "you can't use this feature right now".
I looked at the activity log on web and it has multiple instances of "<name> has logged in to Facebook.com" and "<name> has logged out of Facebook.com" for days, all with my home IP address and browser. I don't know if it's a Facebook web glitch, a browser extension causing problems, or a virus on my PC.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and know why or how to fix it? Worrying that it was rejecting all of the authenticator codes, even backup codes or codes sent through WhatsApp.
Ever since Samsung's recent OneUI updates, I can't upload pictures on Chrome anymore. So I'm trying to log into my account on Firefox, and it says I need to go to "my" authentication app, like Google Authenticator or DuoMobile. I don't have an authenticator app, so I tried downloading both of these and neither of them give me any options for a code for Facebook. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with the app to get into my Facebook account, it doesn't make it very clear.
So I go to "Try Another Way" and the only other option is to use a code I've saved. I never saved a code, though. I've always used my password to log in.
So I go to account recovery and it says to upload a picture of my ID. So I try to do that and it tells me I have to download the Facebook app. I absolutely do NOT want to download the Facebook app.
So it says "if these don't work, then you can't log in to your account. We know that sucks, sorry I guess." In almost those exact words.
Is there seriously no way to log into Facebook accounts on the internet anymore??????? I have my phone number, my password, im logged in both on my computer and on this same phone on Google Chrome... There's gotta be some way for me to sign into my account on a new browser. What if I got a new phone??????? Is the app the only way to log into a Facebook account?? Can anyone please help me?????
In the past, I was able to verify on a device that I was already logged into that it was me. How do I do that??? Did they get rid of that??? Can anybody please help?
