    Kim, I have tried all the suggestions and I am still being prompted to provide an authentication code I can not get. Do you have any other suggestions? -Marie

    I completed it all from a desktop - that does seem odd!

    That's so odd (but I am happy for you haha) Because when I have access back to my profile, and head to the settings in FB to remove the authenticator app it asks me for an authenticator code first .. and then I'm stuck again

    Did you remove this through FB desktop or app? (laptop/mobile) maybe your details can help me!
