Hi,

I don't use Facebook.

However the Mac 2 Step Verification needs an Application Specific password set up for the Messages app.

You need to create a application password if you have 2 step verification setup for your Apple ID.

Humm,

I had not read it that way but I can see that it might apply now that I have re-read it.
