Facebook Qr Codes
Leda Billock
After looking around a lot, I think I've found a solution for my situation. I had a "verified" Verizon phone number with Facebook, but for some reason it did not receive SMS texts with reset codes, etc.
Hopefully this helps someone else as well... I had the same issue (logged out FB then went to log back in and was never able to receive the code from sms text. My carrier is Verizon as well) after several unsuccessful attempts of trying different things, I decided to delete the FB app and then re-install FB app again. Not sure if this is a coincidence or not but a couple minutes later I received a bunch of sms text with codes that finally came through and I was successfully able to log back in FB.
I don't have any problem with my account at all, all 100% fine. I'm just trying to TEST the recovery codes of this page. When clicking on "show codes", I can see the 10 alphanumeric two word codes clearly. However, I can't find any place to input them.
If I go to incognito mode (to not get log-in automatically) and then to the Facebook login screen in the desktop or on Android Chrome.
Where do I put them?
In the password field?
If so, what do I put in the username field?
Desktop: If the correct way is to click on "Forgot account", and then use them to reset password, as it says when you continue that path, then that's bad, because, I don't want to reset my password. Now, Facebook says clearly in the page linked before:
The recovery codes are used for 2 Factor Authentication if you don't have your phone. So after you log into Facebook on a new device, you would enter the recovery code instead of the code that gets SMSed to you (or you get out of an authenticator app like Google Authenticator).
John C's answer is incorrect. There is no way to access your account if you have two-part authentication on and have lost your phone. Period. The recovery codes are eight-digit. Authentication codes are six. If you input recovery code (any of the ten) into the two-part authentication box, you will get an error:
You can submit a request via the link in the box "need another way to authenticate" but you must submit a picture ID, then the email you get back is one to reset your password. Once you do that, it goes back to the two-part authentication box and you're back where you started. So..., if you lose the phone that you set up two-part authentication with, you will NEVER be able to access your Facebook account again. Start another account.
Hi there! So i have this really annoying problem, Im trying to login to fb and it asks for the 2FA. The problem is i bought a new phone and the previous phone i had was stolen. Im trying to login and theres no way to go around the 2FA. Ive tried for weeks to contact fb so they can turn off that option but its been imposible over 20 emails and no response whatsoever. I donwloaded duo in my new phone but there are no codes saved to my account. Is there any chance i can recover my authentication codes manually or is there any way i can access or recover my fb codes in my app?
If you had an iPhone and replaced it with another iPhone and you had enabled third-party account backup in Duo Mobile on your old phone before it was stolen then you could restore your accounts in Duo Mobile from iCloud.
When you set up two-factor authentication in Facebook you were offered a set of recovery codes. Did you save those? If so, you can use a Facebook recovery code to log in and then go reset your Facebook two-factor authenticator app to delete the old phone.
Security experts advise against using SMS messages for two-factor authentication codes due to their vulnerability to interception or compromise. Recently, a security researcher discovered an unsecured database on the internet containing millions of such codes, which could be easily accessed by anyone.
With a daily flow of as many as 5 million SMS messages, the YX International database was a treasure trove of sensitive information. Information including password reset links and 2FA codes for companies such as Google, WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok.
With logs dating back as far as July 2023, the lack of a password to protect this database is shocking, but is it a security risk? From the perspective of the 2FA codes I would have to say not very much. After all, such codes expire very quickly and a threat actor would have to be monitoring both the additions to the database and the actions of a target. In the scheme of things, this is very unlikely indeed.
Hello to the forum from a Keepass beginner.
My aim is to use my FIDO2 key as part of the Facebook login ... but this requires two factor auth to be created first.
I have got this far ...
Installed plugin "KeepassOTP"
While logged into FB using conventional means started the 2 factor auth process.
Received a QR OTP and copied the characters into KeepassOTP using KeepassOTP>OTPsetup.
Small dialogue box accepts this pasted set of characters and I see a current 6 digit code number and the 'next' 6 digit code number.
Typing the current code into the FB response boxes is refused (quote = something wrong).
Tried waiting for 'next' code but all attempts get same fail result.
Should I be using 'advanced' and what might those settings be for FB be ... or am I missing something ?
Thanks in advance
Paul
If you have an app on your smartphone like Google Authenticator, andOTP or similar: Please scan the QR code with this app. Does it it show a different 6-digit number than KeePassOTP? If yes: What's the time difference between your smartphone and your pc?
If the number of characters in the OTP secret is not divisible by eight, the string must be padded with equal signs (=) to a length that is divisible by eight because it is Base32-encoded.
I had the same problem on Amazon whose secret string was 52 characters long. After appending four "-characters to it in KeePass, KeePass returned the same codes as Google Authenticator.

Thank you "Rookiestyle" and "TomFei".
Success.
Have followed the route again and this time got a different page ... which allowed me to directly set-up a FIDO2 key ... that option was not available to me before - probably because I had not then got 2 factor enabled.
So I have registered my key.
Now having the same fun with email client on Android ... ah, so much fun.
Thanks again - over and out.

Thanks for the hint with the equal signs. They weren't actually needed, but it made me realize, that I should delete spaces between the groups of four characters. OTP works great with the simple KeePass 2 program. Thank you!
I wondering how to install facebook code in discourse , i tried study from few topic : How to add facebook pixel code for analytics in the discourse instance, installed on our GCP?
and they said just copy the script into the theme Header or CSS . and i tried installed it at CSS header and .
I need to add some facebook conversion tracking code, which should go between the tags according to their instructions. What would be the best way to do this on an Umbraco site? I'm new to Umbraco so it's not immediately obvious where to slot it in.
If the facebook conversion tracking code, should be on every page, and its the same code I would just added in the master template, if you have one. By having a master template you can add all the markup and stuff that should be on every page.
If you only want it on a specific page, I suggest, that you add a propery on the document type of the page type. The data type of the field could be a textbox multiple, in there you can add your script and print it on the the pages where the field has content. Documentation for the textbox multiple can be found here: -umbraco/backoffice-overview/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/Textbox-Multiple
While scannable code images which connect users to your accounts more easily come with a lot of promise, they never seem to catch on the way the networks seem to expect. Sure, taking a picture of something with your phone camera would appear to be a much more convenient way to connect, but it seems that most people are fine with searching and finding it themselves.
Really, it does seem like QR codes need something more to get people engaged, and extra motivation to get them scanning. Maybe Facebook could help improve take-up as they integrate QR codes into their new, image-recognition triggered AR experiences.
If your end goal is to log into Facebook, you can also generate a physical security key via USB or NFC. These two methods depend heavily on the device you are using; therefore, it is better to have a plan B handy.
The very concept of Facebook Code Generator works closely with two-factor authentication. This feature is based on security and helps in protecting Facebook accounts in addition to password protection.
By using Code Generator, one can easily get two-factor authentication codes without even using a mobile number. For instance, if you are in a region with no mobile network, you can easily use this tool to generate a code for a login.
We already know that the Code Generator is readily available in the Facebook app for iOS and Android. But what if you break your phone or lose it. That could be a problem if your primary source of accessing the Code Generator is your phone.
For those who lost a tablet or laptop etc. there is the option of logging out of Facebook from other devices. Needless to say, this does not require setting up a mobile number and subsequently removing it.
As you select a new phone number for two-factor authentication, Facebook will use it to facilitate future login. In case someone tries to log in to your Facebook from an unknown device, a verification code will be sent.
As you add a new email address to receive login alerts, Facebook will notify you whenever someone tries to log into your account using an unknown device. You will get an email alert informing you about the login attempt.
