FB mobile AP token error_code:405

  • When generating access token with confirmed and verified active account with good standing that has worked without problems for 5-6 years now, plugin returns: 

    

{"error_code":405,"error_msg":"User must verify their account on www.facebook.com (405)","error_data":"{\"machine_id\":\"****\",\"error_title\":\"Account Temporarily Unavailable\",\"error_message\":\"Your account is temporarily unavailable. Regain access by updating the app or logging in from a mobile or web browser.\"}","request_args":[{"key":"api_key","value":"***"},{"key":"credentials_type","value":"password"},{"key":"email","value":"***"},{"key":"format","value":"JSON"},{"key":"generate_machine_id","value":"1"},{"key":"generate_session_cookies","value":"1"},{"key":"locale","value":"en_US"},{"key":"method","value":"auth.login"},{"key":"password","value":"--sanitized--"},{"key":"return_ssl_resources","value":"0"},{"key":"v","value":"1.0"},{"key":"sig","value":"***"}]}

    Upon login afterwords, FB asks for a password change claiming security risk i.e. someone beside you trying to login your account.

  • Hi @bibliata

    Thank you for writing in.

    This is because of the strong security method implemented by Facebook because users don’t have to go through a long process of creating an app and generating id we have applied this easy method for the user. So Facebook might have detect security risks to avoid it. You should try activating your account from new credentials and maybe open it in one tab and try generating access token from plugin in another tab.

    THANKS
    How do we activate from new credentials?
    I did try generate token while logged into the actual FB profile but no luck

    Does your process of getting an app described in the directions actually work? Is it worth trying it and abandon the mobile API as a method?

    Hi @bibliata

    Thank you for writing back.

    Please check it using the latest version of the plugin and If it is not working could you please provide us your login details on our private contacts(Emails) as the plugin is working fine on our testing server?

    Regards!

    Hi, I have the same problem with “Mobile API” authentication. Facebook requires me to verify over and over again. It always returns the same error:

    {"error_code":405,"error_msg":"User must verify their account on www.facebook.com (405)","error_data":"...

    THANKS @alsonthakuri
    Updated plugin with latest update today, their mobile API still returns {“error_code”:405,”error_msg”; The app method is NO go either, as Fb has stopped approving non-business apps – what is the possible workaround?
