Facebook password required Mac pop up

this is the real solution. And as easy as you think it is! this is it the only way.

- System Preferences

- Open Internet Accounts

- Pick Facebook

- then delete that account and re open again. the same account. but at this Time you are going to use the last password that you use. you can find it on keychain.

- on your keyboard hold down command and spacebar.

- then write KEYCHAIN and choose the first option that you have. that is KEYCHAIN ACCESS.

- then go to the finder box and write FACEBOOK.

- and those are the key that you use for that page.

- double click on the last date modified.

- is going to show you a small window and you have to click on SHOW PASSWORD.

- is going to request for your keychain password... is the same one that you use for you Apple ID.

- and thats all is going to show you the password.

- copy and paste to the new facebook account that you are opening (is the same account than before) but this time is going to have the new password that you use with your keychain.

I hope this is helpful for all the community.

I am facing exactly the same problem as you reported.

Will any kind soul help us?

Thank you in advance!

In fact, there is one difference with Valters. When I clck "Preferences..." I am taken to "System Preferences -> Internet Accounts".

If I click on "Facebook", a window titled "facebook" opens asking for the Password for my Facebook account linked to the email shown in the popup window "Facebook Password" (the one that keeps coming back no matter what you do...).

When I fill in the with my Facebook password I get the answer "Unable to verify account name or password".

Maddening, isn't it?

I'm having the EXACT same problem since the new software update. Super obnoxious!!

Hackers are using remote access, find my mac, screen sharing etc to get into my mac. They've accessed my keychain, created a port in my firewall and are making google accounts as well as accounts for back to my mac. I'm told they can wipeout your mac, iPhone etc if they get your apple id. Activate 2 step verification for apple and google, Turn off all sharing, remote access, Bluetooth, wifi etc and contact apple ASAP! The latest updates by by. Mac, chrome, windows, kaspersky etc allowed them to access ALL my personal accounts n info. They even create fake websites for FB so you'll enter your login info giving them your passwords! I'll be going into apple shortly, wish me luck!

I tried all sorts of things. This finally worked.

Quit Safari. If you are unable to do that, press command-option-esc to display the Force Quit Applications window. In that window, select Safari and click the Force Quit button.

To prevent the malicious page from reloading automatically, and thus the pop-up from reappearing, hold down the shift key while launching Safari.

Thank you! This worked beautifully.

System preferences

Internet Accounts

uncheck anything Facebook OR highlight Facebook and hit the negative sign at the bottom of the list and remove it altogether. I chose remove as I can log in when I want rather than be bothered and besides do you want Facebook knowing whats on your mac?

I'm having the same problem. I changed my Facebook password through Chrome as I thought it was time to update it. I then got the same Facebook Password popup window every couple of seconds (insanely annoying). After going to Internet Accounts and typing in the new password I got the exact same prompt: "Unable to verify account name or password".
This Facebook Password popup window kept appearing so I straight up decided to go to Internet Accounts and press the - button on the Facebook tab. I've stopped getting annoying notifications, but now whenever I try to re-add my Facebook account I keep getting the same old: "Unable to verify account name or password", and I can't seem to be able to add any Facebook accounts to Internet Accounts at all now.

Anyone?

I have the same problem. I have done exactly what you have, to no avail. I'm over it!!!!!

Hi,

See tonka_tester's solution in this thread ☞ https://origin-discussions-us.apple.com/thread/7006408

That reply is from a year ago. I'm on El Capitan OS 10.11.4. Facebook has changed, as well. The only choice under Login Approvals is whether to require a security code for log in, or not. It is unchecked for me, so I don't require it.

I got a code and changed my password, yesterday, when I first got the pop-up. If I put it into Mac System Preferences, it says it isn't good. I even tried my old password in System Prefs and it won't take it. I then tried the code from the text and guess what???? It doesn't work, either.

Only your suggestion worked Thank you very much

Francesco
