    Cross linking my post with other thread: 

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/messenger-signin/facebook-chat-signing-in-but-doesnt-really-signs/6985d016-cb33-4011-a1d3-b9a096c2688a?page=6&tm=1349933243345

    Copying information from that page:

    I did changed my password long time back (in May 2012) and since then my FB Chat is not working on Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows 8 Messaging App.

    Please help me to resolve the same.

    Things I've tried:

    1. Remove FaceBook connection completely and adding it again
    2. Double Checking that Friends are really "online"
    3. Double Checking that "Chat with Facebook Friends" is checked in my profile for Facebook connection at https://profile.live.com/home/Services/Connect?appid=FB&biciid=managelist
    4. Am using Messaging App on Windows 8 and it has got the same problem.
    5. I even tried using mail.live.com and same issue is there also.

    Adding more - I've Login Notifications enabled on my Facebook account. I hope that helps you to see more quickly in the issue.
