Can’t connect to the account “Facebook.” / Unable to verify account name or password.

I've started to see this on BOTH Macbooks (A loaner and my own) recently... IDK what is broken, but I've TURNED FACEBOOK OFF, because it is driving me crazy...

I literally spent the last 90 minutes logging and relogging, receiving SMS messages, creating app passwords, etc. etc.
It's just broken!

My "real" password is accepted and I get the message "You will receive a text message containing a temporary code. Please use this code instead of your password to sign in." Except it doesn't accept that code. Also, I was sent the same code every time I tried over the last four hours (5 times). I've reported the issue to facebook as well, but they don't respond to individual requests.

The same problem just developed for me in the last day or so.

Playing around with the preferences gets me logged in, but it doesn't stick.

Also if I go to my Facebook page when I'm not logged in on the preference pane, I'm logged in.

Weird.

I've heard people have contacted Apple and Facebook for support- and they are blaming each other, which isn't helpful at all. I feel this has something to do with the new European GDPR compliance rules based on the timing, but who knows.
I will say this- wiping the account and deleting everything "Facebook" from the Keychain (older solutions to Facebook login problems) don't work. I've got two MacBook Pros that are screwed up like this now. So far- it hasn't impacted my iDevices.

The new 10.13.5 MacOS release doesn't fix it either. 😟

Same situation. Removed Facebook from "Internet Accounts" in System Preferences on all Macs, changed password in Facebook, and restarted. Just updated to macos 10.13.5 as well. Nothing works. Just as others are doing, I'm leaving Facebook off the Macs until they (Apple & FB) get this sorted out. iPhone seems fine.

For me it appears to have resolved itself.

But also during that time one of the Macs suffering from the problem had its hard drive replaced, and I also purchased a new one. Both had everything reinstalled/installed from one of two, Time Machine backups. And I'm fairly sure that everything is now back to normal on a third Mac.

There was absolutely no input from me with the Facebook account.

Same here, but I've had it for a while now, just been getting more frequent, so I just disabled facebook on my macbooks alltogether for now!

This is happening on both my iMac and my Macbook. Both are running El Capitan, so it's not just a problem for High Sierra. I'm thinking Facebook did something unfortunate.

Same problem here.

There's an article on MacWorld that links this problem to Facebook's two-factor security option. Are those who have the problem using two-factor security with Facebook?

Yes, I use two factor ident in Facebook. I have for several years.

No, I don't use two-factor security with FB.

Then it looks like we will just have to wait until Facebook and Apple work this out.

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

I still have the problem. 2 factor auth on fb is turned off.

anyone else still having a problem?
