Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Keep getting asked to put in Facebook password, can't delete the account in the settings.

Ever since the recent update I keep getting a pop up asking me to enter my facebook password. I've been told to go into my settings and delete the Facebook account but it won't delete. Facebook says this has nothing to do with them because it's not the Facebook app. I have deleted the app it's self many times. I can't even log into the app because that pop up keeps coming up. So I haven't downloaded it again. And I'm still getting that pop up, even when I'm writing this it's popping up asking me to put in my facebook password.

I need to know how I can delete the account in my settings, because it won't delete when I hit "delete account".

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.3

Ari,

For iPad3: Your fix for DELETING the Facebook account doesn't apply to DELETING the account in settings. The password has been changed on another computer, Facebook on the web and Facebook in settings on the ipad3 are not integrated. Ipad3 knows there is a password and email but the old old old email is still in the iPad and can't be changed and it won't allow the new password because it's attached to the newest email.

I can't find the old email address because I can't open the Facebook account in settings.

I have the same problem. My father gave me his iPad and he linked his Facebook with this iPad but now he deleted/closed his Facebook account, and now I want to link my Facebook to this iPad and just asks me to put the password, doesn't ask me to change the email, just asks me to put the password of xxxx xxxx (and me and my father have the same name) and if I put my password it says it's wrong. What can I do ?

This is a complete joke.


I've tried everything suggested here. Nothing works. I can't post status updates using the Facebook app, can't delete the account in settings and settings won't communicate with the server to input the password.


It's amateur hour, and I note nobody at Apple has had the decency to respond to this thread which is now over three years old.


Typical.

I'm having the same issue for some weeks since upgrading to iOS9... I was getting the pop-up for entering my password to my FB account all the time. Doing that kept the settings app hanging on "verifying". When I tried to open the FB app it told me my account was blocked, because there was some strange activity detected. Therefore I changed my password. Since then I still can't log-in to my account via settings.


Tried all solutions from this thread (resetting privacy&location, logging off from and deleting FB app, checking Accessibility,..) nothing works. Is there an other solution?
