Retry the official Facebook login with the original account identifier in a clean browser or updated app, then use Facebook's account-recovery flow instead of repeated password guesses.
Take a screenshot without showing a password or login code, note the time, and confirm whether the error appears in the app, browser, or both.
2
Confirm the official destination
Use facebook.com or the official Facebook app. Do not enter credentials through a message link, search ad, or person claiming to recover accounts.
3
Restart and update
Restart the device, update Facebook and its operating system, and retry once on a stable connection.
4
Try a clean browser session
Open facebook.com in a current browser private window and use the same email address, phone number, or username previously attached to the account.
5
Compare one trusted connection
Try once on Wi-Fi and once on mobile data when available, with VPN and proxy tools off. Stop if Meta presents a security checkpoint and complete that checkpoint instead of rotating networks repeatedly.
6
Use official account recovery
Open Facebook's recovery guidance, locate the account through facebook.com/login/identify, and follow only the recovery methods Facebook offers. Never buy a code or send one to another person.
Review contact details and active sessions, change the password if compromise is possible, and enable two-factor authentication with saved recovery codes.

If it does not work
If Meta says the account is disabled or suspended, follow the review route shown for that decision; ordinary login troubleshooting cannot overturn it.
If many accounts fail on the same device or network, pause attempts before resetting the account and preserve the exact time and error for Facebook Support.
