Can’t login to Facebook because Authenticator app didn’t backup and save credentials

For anyone looking to get around this, I found this on a Reddit thread and it actually worked.

I'm back into my Facebook account and have managed to disable 2FA on it.

"I found a fix. I tricked Facebook into thinking my account was hacked and needed to secure my account

Go to facebook.com on a computer(key info!), then click Forgot account? on the login page.

If prompted, find your account by entering your email, phone, username or full name and click Search.

Look at the list of email addresses listed on your account, click No longer have access to these?

Enter a new email that you know you can access and click Continue because it will receive a recovery code that you will need to enter. You will then reset your password and make a new one. After this you will be sent back to the approve login loop but worry not, go back to the email that received the recovery code and if by chance Facebook detects the password change as a hack activity, you will be sent a link to "Secure your account" and it's just smooth sailing after that. You might need to change your password again but after doing the "Secure your account" steps, I got to my news feed and also managed to login to my phone without having that approve login popup."

Hopefully it will all work for you.

Hey thanks for the info.. but, it will still ask for the 2FA code??

After I click ‘no access to these’ and ‘I cannot access my email’, I don’t see a prompt to fill out another email. It says ‘Something went wrong, please try again later’… goodness I’ll never get access back in!

I can’t login into my Facebook account cause I don’t have the authentication code again and I had my mobile number with it
