This is what it says when it try to run the script. This is happening right after its logging into my facebook. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello!

I'll try to see if I can repro it tonight. From the stack trace, I see you're using Python 3.8 32-bit, correct?

So, it seems like Facebook has gotten quite aggressive at blocking scripts like this one. As the fbchat Python library suggestes:

However, there's a catch! Using this library may not comply with Facebook's Terms Of Service!, so be responsible Facebook citizens! We are not responsible if your account gets banned!

Definitely a bit of a bummer, but yea, that's why you got this error. If you go to your browser, and navigate to Facebook, it'll likely tell you your account was locked out due to suspicious activity, and force you to change your password.
