Password On Facebook
Olivie Inoue
Recently I logged into my Facebook account and then noticed that my caps lock was on. So I tried to log in again with and without capslock on. I got in both times. Then I tried to log in with the first letter of my password in uppercase and the rest in lowercase. Again, I got in. How is this even possible? Does Facebook keep a cookie for the password or something?
I don't think there are any cookies per your question. It is likely that the password hashing and storage is as standard as you would expect. The alternate passwords are probably generated from the password submitted, via the login form, and not stored as alternates on the back end.
My wife has a new iPad. It was setup from her old iPad. All apps on the new iPad recognise their respective passwords... except for the FB app. The app on her old iPad still accepts the password after logging out and logging back in. As does FB on the web. But not the app on the new iPad. Why would that be?
It may have also been locked if there was an account issue, meaning a reset would be required. Since this is with the account password in a third-party app, please contact Facebook for help resetting the password. Once reset, the new one should work. If not, contact Facebook for help with their app: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
Authenticator generates 6 digit codes in 30s periods but when we try to fill the code which will expire soon (3s or less) and the last digit is fill to messanger prompt 10 sekunds after the validity period for 6-digit code, application will try verify the code but after few sekunds will log off to login password screen and then filling even true login password (i.e. from password manager) will gives "Invalide login or password"
I fixed this by going to the related app in Facebook Developer center and resetting the Facebook App Secret (even reauthorizing would not work). It is the only way I could fix it and very frustrating and ridiculous that because the user changes their login password that it breaks the API/app.
You get this message because you have probably changed your password of your Facebook account. On the other hand, your instagram account password remained the same. The easiest way is to change your instagram password. Click to setting in instagram app, click reset the password. The program will probably send you a reset password link. Do it. Re-connect your instagram with your new password. The app will ask you to continue with your Facebook account and you in this way have re-given permission to instagram to publish ads. You are ready to go!
Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.
This is driving me nuts....I want to set up Spotify on my SmartTV. When I try, it asks me for my username and password. Since I login to Spotify through Facebook, I can't give the SmartTV a username and password.
I found on Spotify that my account is not only linked to my Facebook account, but I've been given a 10 digit number as a username. However, when I try to reset the password for that "Spotify (ten digit #) Username" it asks for my current password. Obviously I don't have it because if I did, I wouldn't need to reset it. So I'm stuck.
I already have a premium account so I don't want to close the spotify account, lose all my playlists, etc. I can't believe there isn't a way to log into Spotify without using my Facebook account. That's just wierd!
How do I set up Spotify on my SmartTV if I don't have a password for my "Spotify (ten digit #) username" and I can't use my Facebook account to set it up on the SmartTV because it requires a Spotify username and Spotify password, not a facebook account???
1) Go to the link _url=/uk/account/set-device-password/
2) On the page that the link takes you to, log into Spotify using your Facebook log in details
3) You will be taken to your Spotify subscription page. Look at the very top right hand corner of the page. You will see a Spotify account number. It is a ten digit number. Make a note of this, as it will be your Device Spotify log in username.
4) Next scroll to the bottom of the page and create a password. Make a note of this, it will be your Device Spotify password.
5) Use the username and password to log into your Spotify/Device account.
6) Enjoy playing and listening
Recently I begrudgingly created a Facebook account after receiving an invite to a group that is work related and I couldn't really say no. Everything was working fine but I decided to change my password and since then it has been a pain to log in using 1Password. Every time I try it tells me the password was updated and it's not accepting the password from the browser extension but if I go and copy the password from the main application it works fine.
The strange thing is that I can press on the anchor symbol and copy it from the browser extension which works. It just won't log in normally and tells me I have used an old password, so it feels like a bug in 1Password that is not updating the password properly.
I'm sorry you're having trouble with your Facebook Login item! If it works when you copy & paste your login credentials, but not when you have the extension fill them for you, please try manually saving a new Login for that site. Does the new Login item work correctly?
@Drew_AG I actually tried that before and it updated the existing login within 1Password itself, however those changes are never carried back to the browser extension when attempting a normal login. It's perplexing because if I copy them manually from the browser extension it's correct.
The steps to manually save a new Login won't update an existing Login item - instead, they'll have you create a brand new Login item for that site, completely separate from the original Login item (although they'll both have your same login credentials, of course). This can be useful for logins that have stopped working correctly. Saving a new Login item allows 1Password to refresh everything it "knows" about the page.
Can you please follow the steps from that link to create a new Login item in 1Password for that Facebook account? Once you do that, refresh the login page, then try to have 1Password fill your info using the new Login item you just created. Does that make a difference?
I've never had a problem before across hundreds of websites and changed the password on many of them. It's still a mystery why 1Password was continuing to insert an old password, even though it had clearly updated inside the main application. Chances are it won't happen again.
Since this particular issue is resolved, I'll close this thread, but if you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to open a new thread, or email us directly at suppor...@agilebits.com.
The Facebook source said the investigation so far indicates between 200 million and 600 million Facebook users may have had their account passwords stored in plain text and searchable by more than 20,000 Facebook employees. The source said Facebook is still trying to determine how many passwords were exposed and for how long, but so far the inquiry has uncovered archives with plain text user passwords dating back to 2012.
Both Github and Twitter were forced to admit similar stumbles in recent months, but in both of those cases the plain text user passwords were available to a relatively small number of people within those organizations, and for far shorter periods of time.
Well, I think it is difficult to quit Facebook. We all depend on it for most of the things, especially when you are running some business or you are an influencer. So, I think quitting Facebook is not a good idea. If you want to be secure and want to protect your data then you should choose your password wisely.
Wow Facebook has been bad at security for a long time: I feel like every month we learn something bad about Facebook, but their stocks are not affected. It is like we are now immune or come to an acceptance that they will fail at protecting our privacy. other companies get one bad news and their stocks take a dive but not Facebook.
I received a message from facebook telling my password had been one of the many recorded. I do believe what they are telling us in the press release is outer balls. Something else bigger is going on, someone has just leaked the information, now they are trying to cover it up.
When you use your PayPal account to process transactions using Facebook, Facebook will sign you up for Automatic payments with them. This is why you are not prompted for your password each time. If you want to cancel this, please click here.
I have the same problem but when I click your link it says the page is no longer available. I tried Paypal customer service but apparently 10.30 in the morning is outside their opening hours. Any ideas? cheers Pete
Hi Petepowergen, did you try the solution I found re going into paypal settings - account - and cancelling all the ones that say they have pre approved payment? I was shocked when I found that about 8 companies, most of which I had only used once, had automatically given themselves pre approved payment! I too gave up with paypal customer service, apparently morning, early afternoon and late afternoon are all outside working hours. I got my most helpful answer by posting the problem on facebook. Good luck
