    I have my Facebook password so requesting the OTP from Facebook wont work because it is not what I need. It is the security code I am needing to recieve from the Microsoft Authenticator app. I cannot get it because that info was never backed up and is now lost. Two-factor authentication is turned on in my Facebook security settings, but I cannot get logged in to Facebook to turn it off, and their support people are not understanding the issue.

    Did you ever figure out this issue? Were you able to get ahold of anyone at facebook? If so, who did you contact? I am having the same issue

    No I have not been able to reach anyone competent at Facebook. I continue to receive the same email stating they cant help me because for whatever reason my TX drivers license is not an acceptable form of ID. Incredibly frustrating!!!
