We understand that having your Facebook or Instagram account unlinked or experiencing issues with posting can be frustrating. This can happen due to Facebook's and Instagram's rigorous security algorithms designed to protect user accounts. If a security event or suspicious activity is flagged on your account, re-authorization may be required.

These security events typically occur outside of Arrow AI. Below, we explain possible causes and provide steps to re-authorize your account.

Possible Causes

  1. META Upgrades and 2-Factor Authentication

    • META is currently implementing a range of upgrades, including requiring two-factor authentication for Instagram accounts. This enhancement in security measures is causing many accounts to need reconnection. This is a deliberate action by META to enhance account security.

  2. Logging into Facebook from a New Region or Multiple Browsers

    • If you log into your Facebook account from a location you don't usually access it from, or if you use your Facebook account across multiple browsers simultaneously, Facebook might flag this as suspicious or unusual activity.

  3. Changing Your Facebook Password or Username

    • Modifying your password or username on Facebook can trigger a security check, resulting in the need to re-authorize third-party links.

  4. Connecting Multiple Facebook Pages

    • If you manage several Facebook Pages under a single account and post duplicate, similar, or frequent content across all pages, Facebook might flag this activity.
