"You're temporarily blocked"

Aasemoon opened this issue · 2 comments

The issue started 2 days ago, first on one PC and then on both PCs where I have installations of Pidgin. At first my FB account would get disconnected with the message "you're temporarily blocked", and then after a few minutes I would be connected again. Then the frequency of these blocks kept increasing, and as of today I can no longer connect to FB, I only get this message, on both PCs.

I'm on Windows 10 if it makes a difference.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Are there any solutions?

For me it's "Someone may have accessed your account". Every couple of days. It's extremely annoying. I have to change my password, reset my token, etc. Not sure what's going on but I guess it's a Facebook bug.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes between opening fb on a browser and launching pidgin. If you open them in the same time it might confuse fb that someone is doing a mitm attack or something. That's my experience at least.
