Facebook and Instagram users worldwide have been logged out of the sites and are having trouble logging in, receiving errors that their passwords are incorrect.
The outage has caused people to automatically get logged out of Meta and for Instagram to no longer work, giving errors like "Couldn't refresh feed."
When logged out of Facebook, users are being shown a message stating, "Session Expired. Please log in again."
When attempting to log in again, Meta incorrectly says that Facebook users' passwords are wrong.
In a statement, Meta confirmed outages across all its services: We are aware of an issue users are having logging into our platforms.
Watch out for "I can't believe he is gone" Facebook phishing posts.
