Unable to verify Facebook Internet Account on macOS

Thanks Marius, this is correct, your email may be similar to your Facebook username, but you need to use the username, not the email address.

To be clear, delete your account on macOS, re-enter your Facebook account in macOS using your Facebook username, do not use your email address, rather your Facebook username. Marius had directions to your username.

As of today, June 9, the issue appears to have been resolved. Others are reporting the same. Whether it was Apple or Facebook we may never know.

It's happening the same to me here in Italy, since 3-4 days. Facebook is working properly on browser, Iphone and Ipad, but Internet Account in System Properties cannot log in and keeps asking me the password.

I cannot post any picture using Photo app or Instagram.

I read a similar discussion , it seems that many other users are experiencing the same recently. Hope that Apple will fix this problem soon !

See if anything here helps.

Facebook Password Required

Can't connect to the account "Facebook", Unable to verify account name or password

I have this problem too. I am using Facebook Two-Step authentication with my account (and have for a long time). My mac prompted me to re-enter my Facebook credentials. Immediately it didn't work so I:

1. Deleted the Facebook account from my Internet Accounts on my mac.
2. I removed anything Facebook related from my Keychain.
3. I tried re adding the account.
   1. I used my facebook password (and yes, it is the correct password.) This was rejected.
   2. I used my facebook password + my 6 digit Authenticator PIN. This was accepted but I got the following error message:
   3. I tried creating an app specific password which also failed.

I have one more glitch that I haven't seen reported on either of the threads I'm following. I deleted my FB account on Internet accounts in OSX and rebooted. I tried to reactivate the account, entered all the appropriate information and got a message that "This account already exists. Create a new account?" or something to that effect. I was not able to delete anything from my Keychain because I couldn't find anything in the keychain files that looked as if it was related to FB. (PS, I don't store ANY passwords in Keychain.) Just in case someone at Apple or FB is looking at these posts.

I have the exact same problem on all my MacOS and iOS devices. Hope Apple (or FaceBook) will fix this. Changed my PW just to be sure I hadn't been hacked, but that's clearly not the issue.

Please post if you find a solution. This is annoying!

Thanks!

Not me heymcd. They (ikrupp) wrote IN RESPONSE to me. Please look more carefully before you snark.

I haven't seen a fix and don't know who marked the question "solved." Does not appear to be solved at all.

There's a similar thread here but, again, they didn't find the solution: Mac constantly asking for Facebook password

Did not help......

Interesting idea, but did not work for me.

I should add that I also tried using Facebook's app password generator to create a password thinking that it was a two factor auth problem and that did not work either.

MariusRutavicius,

Do you use two factor auth?
