#1357007 a security check is required during sending messages
After 75 message sent it is saying a security check is required. I dont know how to resolve this.
Usually you can fix this by logging into the account manually, and then doing the security check there. I'm trying to set up the TravisCI test suite, and I keep getting this error as well. I've found it happens when the computer that the client is logged in on changes IP, maybe that's also the case for you?
At what speed that 75 messages was sent ? If it was sent really fast (within 30sec-1min, I don't know exact threshold), it's likely that your account hit the spam/malware detection. Even after manual login and security check confirmation, if you continue to do the same, your account will be locked again. I don't think there is solution to solve this.
I keep getting my account locked after sending 1 message. Ridiculous. Is there any way to combat this?
My account was blocked with only one message. fb says that detected the login in a site that simulates the fb. What is the solution to this?
It seems there's multiple people suddenly experiencing this issue (though I think it's unrelated to the original issue), and I'm awfully sorry for the trouble it's causing you. The login logic definitively needs a rework, but I don't have an easy fix 😕
After 60 messages sent in 30 mins, I got the same error and cannot recover even the next day. Is there any method to fix it? Thanks a lot.
@unclepeach First, stop. Sending a lot of messages with short intervals is pretty much a definition of "spammy". It's a simple way to get locked out.
Think your usecase through, do you need to send this many messages this often? Try to make your program act more humanly. Not as in "pass the turing test", but "don't spam the same thing over and over". For example, if you're sending data from a sensor, you could try to send them in bigger packets but less often? Maybe only when you ask the program, with some kind of a command? Literally any method which does not require a storm of messages.
Second, log in normally, through a browser, and do the security check, to unlock the account.
And remember the first point, if you continue to act like a spammer, you will be locked out for being a spammer.
Take care, and be careful!
@szymonszl that may be true in the general sense, but in this case fb locks your account after just one message sent. No matter the precautions you will take, your account will still be locked if you send a message.
