I could reproduce this the first few times but now I can't and I login successfully.
Anyway, here's the exception when it failed
Logging in xxxxxxxxxxxxx@protonmail.com...

"/gettingstarted" is the url for a page with some intructions for setting up your account (like adding contacts or a mobile number), it only appears on new accounts so it goes away after a few attempts. If you want to make it go away, you have to visit the url directly and click next a few times, on next start it should log in correctly

I now think that detecting this url (maybe skipping it automatically?) might be a good idea, I'll try to code that if I have the time

Hi There!

I've a similar issue. However I want to move my fbchat program to another computer with the same credentials. The login is successful at my original place (old computer), and it doesn't login on the other one (new computer).

Any idea?

Thank you:
FeZ.

Herre is the error message:

Hi @FeZoli. The best suggestion I can give you is to try copying the session cookies over. An example would be something like this:

# On the old computer, run
import json
import fbchat
client = fbchat.Client(USER, PASSWORD)
cookies = client.getSession()
with open("session.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(cookies, f)

# After copying the session.json file to the new computer, run
import json
import fbchat
with open("session.json") as f:
    cookies = json.load(f)
client = fbchat.Client(USER, PASSWORD, session_cookies=cookies)

[CRAKZOR]

the post request url is different for login

in _state.py:

 @classmethod
    def login(cls, email, password, on_2fa_callback, user_agent=None):
        session = session_factory(user_agent=user_agent)

        soup = find_input_fields(session.get("https://m.facebook.com/").text)
        data = dict(
            (elem["name"], elem["value"])
            for elem in soup
            if elem.has_attr("value") and elem.has_attr("name")
        )
        data["email"] = email
        data["pass"] = password
        data["login"] = "Log In"

        r = session.post("https://m.facebook.com/login/device-based/regular/login/?login_attempt=1", data=data)

i login successfully with this post url i found
r = session.post("https://m.facebook.com/login/device-based/regular/login/?login_attempt=1", data=data)

but pullchannel not working so idk how to get retrieve messages.

Hi @FeZoli. The best suggestion I can give you is to try copying the session cookies over. An example would be something like this:

# On the old computer, run
import json
import fbchat
client = fbchat.Client(USER, PASSWORD)
cookies = client.getSession()
with open("session.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(cookies, f)

# After copying the session.json file to the new computer, run
import json
import fbchat
with open("session.json") as f:
    cookies = json.load(f)
client = fbchat.Client(USER, PASSWORD, session_cookies=cookies)

Many thanks, but my client doesn't work anymore in any of my instances. So, I don't have a session cookie.

I have the same problem... The error message finishes like this:

fbchat._exception.FBchatUserError: Login failed. Check email/password. (Failed on url: https://m.facebook.com/checkpoint/?_rdr)

For some reason it keeps redirecting me to the identity check, is there any solution to this? It is really annoying because it also affects my browser...

[chalermporn17PPA]

Happen to me too.
this is my code.

from fbchat import Client
import json
from fbchat.models import *

cookies = {}
user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.97 Safari/537.36'

try:
    with open('session.json','r') as f:
        cookies = json.load(f)
except:
    pass

if cookies == {} :
    email = input('email : ')
    password = input('password : ')
    client = Client(email,password,user_agent=user_agent)
else :
    print('found cookies')
    client = Client('','',user_agent=user_agent,session_cookies=cookies)
print("Complete")

with open('session.json','w') as f:
    json.dump(client.getSession(),f)

First time log in everything is fine.

email : my-email@hotmail.com
password : mypassword
Logging in my-email@hotmail.com...
Please enter your 2FA code --> 8596 8714
Submitting 2FA code.

@chalermporn17PPA, this might be a separate issue; can you try adding the following code and test it again?

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

This is my program's log.
I tried delete session.json and relogin.
I can log in by email/password but can't by cookies file.

Hmm, might be something wrong with .isLoggedIn. Can you try a different user agent, for example "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.90 Safari/537.36"?

Did you, by any chance, closed the client?
