Can't log in with two factor authentication turned on #57

Hi, I am using two-factor authentication on my Facebook account and can't log into the messenger app.

When I enter my usual Facebook password I get this message:

However, when I generate an app password in my Facebook account and enter it in the messenger app, I get this error message:

and my Facebook account gets temporarily blocked:

How can I overcome this Issue?

Thank you.

Please

  1. Open you app by running in terminal com.github.aprilis.messenger --activate
  2. Try to log in
  3. Copy your terminal output and send it by email to me (kwiecienjaro@gmail.com)

Hi, I managed to work it out, the issue was with my VPN provider and not with your app, thank you for your time and sorry for the bother.
