[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1792972, member: 83420"] [B]Rod[/B], this remarkably commonplace at the moment. There are a couple of threads with this story; some about access to FB; some about uploading photos and so on. By common agreement deleting the account & starting over doesn't work. Two things seemed to help me with PW issue: Persistence! That is, I get the Internet Accounts message. I go there, click on FB & enter the PW. It says it's incorrect. Hit Cancel. Wait a short time. Enter PW again. By the second or third attempt - enter PW - incorrect - cancel - re-enter PW; it works. I finally got sick of this and, on a recommendation, set up and enabled 2 Factor Verification. Got FB to "trust" my iMac and iPad Pro so that 2FV will only be activated if FB is entered on another device. Since then, never had a problem. This, of course, could be coincidence; but I think FB is pushing 2FV hard, but in the background. As [B]Jake[/B] said, FB has altered its GUI and other bits & pieces and it's my "hunch" that they want 2FV and if you do it, you get no problems - and added security. Just the thoughts & experience of a single person. Ian [/QUOTE]
