I just had the same problem -

If you try to use your new password when you get a "notification window" with that "Can't connect to the account" error, it doesn't work, but I got it to work using these steps :





1: open "System Preferences"

2: open "Internet Accounts"

3: click on "Facebook"

4: click on "Details..." (should be to the right hand side of your name and email address for your FaceBook account)

5: enter your new password -

you should now get a message saying that you'll get an SMS with a temporary code.

6: use the code from the SMS and it should work again
