Answer

Customer

I cannot log into my account - it is asking for 2 factor authentification but is not sending codes to my phone NOR my email.

I am able to log in through the mobile browser ( safari ) but it will not let me go into my 2FA settings as it is "not supported on mobile"

I am at the end of the road for troubleshooting and could really use some help.

Thanks!

Posted
Customer

and it works - but when I type in that email into the facebook app it says it doesn't have an account attached to it.

is my code generator connected to my aol email?

Posted

and if so - how do I get access to that? I tried logging into my AOL account and there are zero emails regarding facebook stuff

Posted
Charles Totherow

Please try your phone number instead of your email address to see if the link will work.

Posted

nope

Faceboko seems to having a glitch that they have not fixed as of yet.  I am still trying to work on this as we speak.  Sorry it has taken so long.

Posted
Customer

I mean at this point - is there someone else who may be able to assist - or do you have a next steps at all like somewhere else I could try to attempt to get help? I feel like we've been at the same threshhold for a while.

Posted
Customer

I do appreciate your help - a lot I am thankful for your effort, but I think it's time to expand our horizons here

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Not at this time I have tried everything I know of to try to resolve this.  

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

This issue can remane open for 30 days or if you wish to wait to hear back form facebook or we can close this issue.

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

The only other thign I know to do is open a new account with a different email address and then it would work.  Most customers who have had similiar have had to open new accounts because Facebook would not respond to the support requests.

Posted
Customer

Leave it open for now - I'l think about it.

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

I have not heard back from you in a while.  Please post an update on this chat page.

Posted
Customer

disappointed in the wall that we have hit and that an acceptable solution is to make a new account as it discredits 15 years of work making connections.

 

but I understand there is only so much that you can do and that Facebook just has a really bugged out backend when it come to 2FA.

 

I will sparingly continue to check and try to fix - you can close this case.

 

Thanks,

Johnny
