"Facebook Password Required" popup

Hi Karen ..

"The message pops up and says "Facebook Password Required" and instructs me to "Enter your password for <<my email address>> in Internet Accounts. When I try to do that it tells me that the password is not valid."

Enter your Facebook "password" not your email address.

Open System Preferences > Internet Accounts then select Facebook on the left then enter your password where prompted then click OK.

I share your pain and your experience. I have gone through completing the request to enter passwords and used the suggestion of going through preferences as given and same outcome, password/account not valid and then..... - that blasted pop up comes back asking to enter my password for Facebook and internet accounts. I would really appreciate an understanding of why this is happening because clearly it is not an isolated occurrence - and I haven't changed any of my equipment so thats not a reason. Do hope someone can help because its really annoying!

I'm having the same problem and really wish someone had an answer. I've gone to the system preferences and entered every password I think they are asking for (gmail, Apple ID, facebook). I'm not even sure which password they are supposedly requiring. Regardless, every one I enter is invalid and I know they are correct. HELP!!

This is clearly an Apple system problem, how do we get someone to respond and advise what they have done to result in this annoying situation? Dont Apple monitor this site? If so - come on Apple sort this out for us please! I just want this annoying pop up to go away for good!

This is annoying and here is why? If you are using a Mac you can't post pictures from the Photos onto Facebook. You also can't post music from the music platform. This is ridiculous. Will someone at Apple please respond?

Is this something new then because it has only started coming up on my Mac for the last week or so. I have made no changes to any of my Apple products so can only assume that there have been some application changes made by Apple? I wholeheartedly agree - Apple obviously caused this, they should fix it because its bloody annoying.

It started happening on my iPhone 8 Plus 2 days ago but once I entered my password it went away. Still happening on my Mac. It makes no sense. I guess Apple support does not monitor this site because I see no response from them. Frustrating.

This is clearly an Apple system problem,

No, it isn't.

how do we get someone to respond and advise what they have done to result in this annoying situation?

If any of the many Users here knew the answer to your dilemma, that would already have answered

Dont Apple monitor this site?

No, they don't

If so - come on Apple sort this out for us please! I just want this annoying pop up to go away for good!

Contact your email provider.

I have the same issue. Only thing that took it out was, on the Preferences, Internet accounts, I un-checked the four boxes: contacts, calendars, notifications and share menu. it stopped it, but probably stopped some things I need, but it is so annoying to get the pop-up, that I don't care.

I don't understand what you mean by "Internet Connections" and deleted your FB account. Do you mean "Internet Accounts?" And if so, how do you delete the FB account from there? I am still having the problem of the pop-up but am not sure how to get rid of it based on the things I have read in this thread.

You have already deduced that the solution involves

System preferences > Internet Accounts ...

... rather than "Internet connections". Use that panel to:

1) Try changing the settings of your Facebook account to include fewer options. {Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, and more}

2) If no joy, delete your Facebook account by selecting it, and using the [-] button below the list to remove it. Then add it back, taking care to enable ONLY the options you will use every day. You can always add more later.

so far that seems to have worked, because when I entered my password, it didn't say it was invalid this time. We shall see. Thank you. (and as far as my question about "internet connections" I thought maybe there was something I was missing). 😀 )

Entering facebook password gives you the message of "unable to verify password." Pop up still happens.
