Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

"Facebook Password Required" popup

I recently got a new iPhone 8. Ever since then, my LAPTOP has been sending me a message. (I'm not sure if there is a connection between the two devices but it started happening right after I got the new phone.)


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. Now it's certainly possible I'm entering the wrong password, I have too many, but I'm pretty sure it's one of the ones that I have tried so far. The other thing is, I'm not at all sure why it's asking me for this information because I can access Facebook both on my laptop and on my phone. But it sure seems urgent because as soon as I click "Close" on the notification, it pops up again.


So, if anyone can tell me why I'm getting this message, that would be great. And what I can do about not entering the right password (since there is no Forgot Password? link), that would be great too.


Thanks!

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.
