Windows 10: Facebook locked my account and forcing me to complete 2-step-authentication.

Hello, my problem is that I forgot my password so I can’t complete the process, if I try to reset a new password it tells me to verify through the in-app notification which I can’t get because they locked me out. Anyone know how to get the account back, it’s not my personal account it’s a small organisation’s account I’m managing for.

2 step-authentication with app password not working

Just to be clear, after enabling 2-step authentication on my account, Chronos Calendar was unable to sync (which was expected). I went to the web page to create an app password, did a copy of the code, went back to Chronos Calendar, paste the code in
the password field. But I got the error that I can't get authenticated. I tried several times, removing the password, creating a new one, enter it manually or by copy/paste: same problem. So I removed the 2-step authentication and everything is now back to
normal.

 

2 step-authentication with app password not working

Hello,

I have enabled 2-step authentication on my Microsoft account.
I'm trying now to create/use an application password on my WP8 but it doesn't work, the application is failling to authenticate with the generated password.
Has anyone successfully used an app password?

Windows Microsoft account authentication

I have a valid Microsoft account and a Windows 10 PC with Hello/PIN account login enabled. I also have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed on an iPhone and configured for the Microsoft account. Additionally, I have two step authentication configured
for the Microsoft account. With all of that said, I have become very exasperated while trying to unravel the various authentication paths (and their security implications) through this multi level login security scheme. I find the associated account security
documentation to be woefully inadequate. Thus, I would like to pose the following list of questions for starters.

1. Does Windows Hello/PIN amount to a two step verification login procedure for my Microsoft account?

2. Does approving a Microsoft Authenticator login attempt (without two step verification explicitly set up)

amount to a two step verification login procedure for my Microsoft account?

3. Does approving a Microsoft Authenticator login attempt (with two step verification explicitly set up)

amount to a two step verification login procedure for my Microsoft account?

4. If answers to both 2 and 3 are yes, then what does explicit set up of two step authentication do?

5. Does a coherent, comprehensive document explaining Microsoft account security configuration exist somewhere?

6. If the answer to 5 is yes, wherer is it?

Thanks in advance.
