Report A Login Issue Home Page Facebook [upd] 〈480p - 1080p〉
Feature: "Report a Login Issue" — Home Page (Facebook)
Goal
Provide users an easy, secure way to report problems logging in from Facebook's home page so support can diagnose and resolve account access issues quickly.
- Localize strings and date/time formats; support RTL languages.
- "Error: Invalid password" – Try resetting first. If reset links don't arrive, use the "No longer have access" option.
- "Account Temporarily Unavailable" – This is usually a server-side lock. Report this by waiting 24 hours; if unresolved, use the ID upload form.
- "You have been blocked from logging in due to too many attempts" – You must wait (usually 15 minutes to 24 hours). Reporting this is futile; the system is rate-limiting you for safety.
- "Login Approval Needed – We don't recognize this device" – This is a 2FA issue. Report by selecting "I don't have my phone" during the 2FA prompt.
Reporting via Mobile App: One of the most intuitive mobile features is the "Shake to Report" function. Users can simply shake their phone while on the login or home screen to trigger a report prompt. Alternatively, you can navigate to the menu, scroll to Help & Support, and select Report a Problem. report a login issue home page facebook
