Facebook Users Logged Out Unexpectedly Due To "Configuration Change"

After an unexpected logout activity observed by users on Friday, Facebook explained that a 'configuration change' led to the issue which was fixed Saturday morning. A company spokesperson, in an email to The Verge, said," On January 22, a configuration change caused some people to be logged out of their Facebook accounts. We investigated the issue and fixed it for everyone earlier today. We're sorry for the inconvenience." The problem began on Friday, with users on the Facebook Reddit board reporting they were receiving "sign-in" prompts from their Facebook app, but they had not signed out. Engadget found that iPhone users were the most affected by the logout issue, stating that the users of Facebook's iOS app were having difficulty logging back in when using two-factor authentication. Most of them were able to log back in, but the authentication codes needed were taking a long time to reach users due to the glitch. (Credit: ANI)
