Facebook app refuses to recognize correct password on my iPad

Bought an iPad mini A17pro. Transferred everything from old iPad mini. Now, FB app refuses to recognize my correct password. I reset the password, then tried to log in with new password, and it didn’t recognize the new password, asking again if I wanted to reset password. I can log on with password on browser but not app. Have tried all the usual things: deleted, reloaded app. Restarted iPad. Nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Exactly the same problem! I changed the password, and updated to the latest iOS. It just says “wrong password “, but it’s definitely the right password, since it’s working on any other device!

After you change password in the app, reboot your iPad and then try again. I was having the same problem but with another app a couple of months ago and for some reason rebooting after changing the password fixed the problem. Now I always reboot after changing a password or passcode on any app or setting.

Install the Facebook Messenger App - and sign-in using your Facebook credentials.

After signing-in to Facebook Messenger, many report that their [previously rejected] credentials are accepted by the Facebook App.

Sounds as if it's time to contact FB support.
