Mac constantly asking for Facebook password

After changing my Facebook password, I keep getting a notification from the system (NOT the browser) "Facebook Password Required: Enter your password in Internet Accounts." In System Preferences -> Internet Accounts, clicking on Facebook gives me the message "Can't connect to the account Facebook. Enter the password for user [MY NAME]" When I put the password in, it says "Unable to verify account name or password."

The password is correct. I can log in to facebook just fine through the browser or on my phone, but after I changed the password in the browser, it broke the integration with mac apps through the system (for instance, I cannot post a photo to facebook from the photos app anymore). I've tried deleting the facebook account entirely from System Preferences and making a new one, but the same problem occurs.

I'm on a Macbook Air running the current version of High Sierra.

Yeah this just started happening to me on the 24th or 25th. I hadn't changed my password, but I went ahead and did that and it didn't fix the problem. I also tried deleting and re-adding the account in System Preferences but the same thing happens. It looks like the password is accepted, but a little bit later it asks again. On the Facebook website under Settings/Security & Login/Where You're Logged In I see multiple separate instances of Device type unknown · Cincinnati, OH, United States with my IP address that all appear to be logged in. Forcing those to logout from that page doesn't work. So it seems it's in some sort of limbo.
