Meta Apps Have A Blackout, Here's The Options

#meta #facebook #instagram #threads

There has been a short blackout for Meta Inc apps Facebook, Instagram, and Threads users since last night to this morning.
Users couldn't log into their accounts due to some changes to the Meta apps.
Users either had to resort to:
-sign in but had to make a new password
-get a 6-digit code to log in
-get a 6-digit code after more than 4 tries
-connect with other devices you use Facebook, and/or Instagram on, and verify that that device you mainly use was you; not someone else or a hacker

Mark Zuckerburg made an apology post on Threads, and said that there will be corrections that will allow users to use their Facebook, Instagram, and/or Threads accounts again.

A better way for Team Meta to fix problems like this is to verify someone's email, and send that user an email containing a 6-digit code, which the user will type in to be verified to use their accounts again.
Usually, social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and email accounts will some times automatically log out, and make you log in again. IF you use a different device that you haven't used before ore or haven't logged in in a while, they will make you type in a 6-digit code sent by text or call.
The email way is easier for people to use in case they haven't used their account in a while, or forgot their password.
