So I just did the update for FB on my iPad, and I’m being asked to log in…which I’ve tried with the password I have written down. That didn’t work…so I said I forgot my password, and got to a place to enter a new password…but that didn’t work…either.
Same. Im sure my brother is confused and bored! (he is nonverbal and non mobile post stroke and uses his social media to survive and keep up with the world.)
I got locked out of my first Facebook account, I think when I signed up I used my landline as a phone number, so when they started using verification codes…. I signed into my husband’s account so I could at least copy my photos.
I also could not log onto Facebook and kept creating a new password and that did not work (error message). I also could not load Instagram. I then looked up on the internet if this was a widespread problem (hoping it wasn’t just me which was my first assumption) and indeed it is widespread that both are down, along with Messenger. While a hassle, I’m glad it is not specific to my account.
The only thing that finally worked
Send code to email
Don’t use the code for login
Use the direct change password link in the email
Do not change password
Just click skip
I was then able to get in.
