Unable to verify Facebook Internet Account on macOS

Hello,

I'm running macOS High Sierra and I am having trouble verifying my Facebook Internet Account.

I have added Facebook in System Properties -> Internet Accounts and entered my Facebook username email address but I get the error message "Unable to verify account name or password" in the password entry dialog box.

I have verified that my password is correct by logging into the Facebook website and I do not have two-factor authentication enabled there.

I have tried deleting the account and re-adding it. I have also tried deleting ~/Library/Keychains/{UUID} and rebooting the computer but nothing has worked.

Thanks, AB

Mac mini (Late 2012), macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

Unfortunately, that did not fix the login problem for me either.

i just FOUND a solution. in system preferences -> accounts its asking you for a username. on facebook page, go to settings -> general, and it will show your username there. NOTE - IT IS NOT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.. use THAT username and your standard log in password.

your welcome

So it has started working for me again. I logged in using my FB username (not email)

I have two factor auth configured (with no phone number!) so after my password it said a code would be sent to me but I want to my authenticator app and entered the code. I also noticed in my browser it asked if I wanted to approve the device that was trying to connect to my Facebook account and I said yes.

Now things are working for me.
