Facebook Down: Users Report Login Issues, Session Errors, and ‘Advanced Protection’ Prompts

by

This morning, Facebook users are encountering a broad service disruption, as they’re unable to sign in and are instead receiving strange error messages.

The reports indicate instances where users encounter “Session Timed Out” issues, password failures, and messages advising them to activate “Enhanced Account Security” to regain access.

It appears that the issues are affecting merely Meta’s Facebook, since Instagram and Threads are functioning without trouble at present.

Reports Spike Around 4:43 a.m. EST

Downdetector shows a sharp increase in outage reports starting at approximately 4:43 a.m. EST.

In various locations, users are experiencing issues that include being completely locked out or stuck in a continuous loop of failed logins. As a result, many accounts and webpages are temporarily unavailable for access.
