Anyone having luck resetting passwords yet?
My Messenger and FB on my phone magically logged back in a day or so ago, but on my PC, no luck - and that PC doesn't seem to recognise the password I thought it was before the outage.
MAC Address being flagged?
But on the flip side, I was able to create a back up profile in a different VM on this machine.....
Password works on THREE other machines, fails completely on ONE.
I was logged in when the outage happened on machine A and phone B - immediately tried to reset password, which took me into the hellish abyss many of us are experiencing now...
This evening - about 18hrs about the event, I fire up machine C - it logs STRAIGHT INTO Messenger. OK... This is something, too scared to open a browser in case that triggers the session disconnect...
So I fire up laptop D - STRAIGHT INTO MESSENGER... OK, open browser, STRAIGHT INTO FB. Log into Google password manager, VISUALLY CHECK password, and it is my last known good password (in use at time of outage).
Fire up iPad E - Straight into Messenger!!! All these machines are on the same network!
Back to Machine A - clear cookies and try to log in, no joy; different browser and try to log in, no joy; try to reset password on this different browser (I might add, I did get a new Change password Token number off this attempt), but no joy; clear cookies and restart, then attempt to log in, no joy!
WHAT THE F?!?!?!?
I initially thought it may have been a 24hr block due to password change attempts? But now not so sure... I've also tried logging in on via Machine A in a VM from a different O/S to see if it may have something to do with it - but again no joy - this environment had NOT been logged in to FB before...
Thoughts????
Yup - same here...
I fear my initial attempts to 'reset my password' and getting that same security(at)facebookmail.com email with the SAME reset code, have not helped me - if only I'd been asleep, I probably could have slept through it.
At least Insty came back up - though to be honest I cant remember that password either and now terrified to try and recover or change that now too!
