Analysing Facebook Login Problems

There are two problem categories of Facebook login difficulties. Category one contains problems that are related to the FAcebook page loading only partially or not at all while the second category contain problems related to the Facebook login itself.

The first category of problems is usually easier to fix. A not loading Facebook page can have only a few sources. It can be that Facebook is currently experiencing difficulties which can be solved by waiting some time and trying again. If the website is not fully loading or displaying old information then clearing the browser cache or trying to access Facebook with another web browser will help.

The last source for Facebook login problems can be that the Internet service provider the user uses to connect to the Internet has problems connecting to Facebook. This again is usually solved by waiting some time and trying to access the page again.

Windows users can also try a so called tracert command to see if the connection to Facebook can be established. They need to open a command prompt (by pressing Windows R, typing cmd and hitting enter). The command tracert facebook.com will try to establish the connection to Facebook and display problems on the screen. These information can then be used to contact the ISP asking for help.

More common are problems associated to the Facebook login itself. This can be that the password or username are not accepted, that the data cannot be remembered or that another error message is displayed when logging into Facebook.

The Facebook login help page provides tips to overcome those log in issues and it is recommended to go there to find the answer to the problems at hand.

      After receiving notification from Facebook advising me to change my password because of the possibility someone had breached my account, I have not been able to log on. And, it appears my e-mail has been affected. I cannot access my Spam folder and also cannot open most of my e-mail.I have been laboring with this already for too long and hope you will help me get it fixed SOON. Thank you!

    • Aly says:

      I have similar problem where I put my username and pw but nothing happens, it stays on login page without any error message. I got someone to try it too, this time using their own facebook account but using the same PC (MAC/Safari Browser) and it gives the same blank login page problem. I use another browser on my MAC (Firefox) and it does the same thing too!

      It seems like there is some sort of restriction in the browser but not sure where to locate it.

      Surprisingly, this login problem in my PC does not appear to be an issue when I use my iphone facebook version. I can login to my IphoneFacebook and even at my work’s pc without having these problems!!

      I read an article where it says to change your DNS settings. But it does not explain why I need to change it and what have caused these login mystery.

      Can someone please advise how to resolve this problem?

  8. Aly says:

    I’ve worked out the problem. I found my cookies disabled. Simply enable or set to accept cookies. This can be done via your browser settings or preferences or from your firewall / anti virus settings. Good luck!

  11. FRED LACOUNT says:

    When I signed up for Facebook it would not accept my name. Out of frustration I typed out another name and it was accepted. I want to change it to my real name but Facebook rejects every attempt. I have sent 5 requests to Facebook for help and none have been answered. Any ideas?

    • Niki says:

      that happened 2 me 2. i just logged off facebook then back on. maybe u could delete ur old account & transfer ur friends 2 a new account?

  12. pepe botella says:

    My face book profile has been disabled because, they say, I put p0rn on the site. I did not have the chance to verify what happened, neither they did a single verification, just closed my account. I only had pictures of my cats and myself riding a bike and driving my car. I can not understand how this people works, but it seems pretty bad, as their site is full of problems, security issues, facilitates ped0philes to contact kids, lets p0rn uploads, they permit racist groups, even your profile can be easily hacked.
    They never answer a single mail, just automated messages, not even a “you photo “x” has been reported” Hope they have to close the site very soon, and put it where the sun does not give light.

  13. Frank says:

    Account Inaccessible for 2 Hours
    Your account is temporarily unavailable because of repeated attempts to enter an invalid name.
    Please try again in 2 hours. When your account is accessible, please enter a version of your name that fits our profile name guidelines. To list your name in a second language, you can use the Alternate Name field in Account Settings at a later time.
