Probably a Messenger website bug

Same issue here, just reinstalled Ferdi and i can't get past "Please verify you Facebook account" splash.

It's 2-factor authentication. It should still work with it enabled. But I tried disabling and it worked. Enabled it once I logged back in - it broke it. :( Can't just keep 2 factor disabled.

Thanks for the tip, it worked! Weird that the app passwords don't work though

Agreed its because of MFA, but i would prefer not to disable it.

Agreed, this might be worth switching to Franz 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps this is something that will get fixed when the next version of Ferdi comes out with an updated Franz core?

Looks like it's a problem with Facebook/Messenger's login process :s
