Can't Change Password or Enable 2FA Due to New Device Restriction

[lum4n4r3]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to change my password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on my Facebook account, but I keep getting this message:

"You can't make this change at the moment. This is because we noticed you are using a device you don't usually use and we need to keep your account safe. We'll allow you to make this change after you've used this device for a while."

I've been logging in from this new device (browser) for about a week, spending 1–2 hours daily, but the restriction is still there. Has anyone else faced this? How long did it take to lift the restriction? Are there specific actions I can take to make the platform recognize my device faster?
Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Keep using the same device and browser daily without clearing cookies, facebook usually lifts the restriction in 1–2 weeks.

New devices are often restricted when changing security to ensure account safety. Continue to use the device regularly for a few days, keep the IP stable, avoid deleting cookies and limit unusual behavior to gradually increase system reliability.

After logging in, let it soak on the device for 1-2 days and then it can be changed.

This also happened to me. My flip 5 suddenly stopped working and I can't open my FB in a different device. Left for me to do is to verify my account with ID, which I haven't done yet.

Soak the new account on the device for 1 week and regularly operate on the new device, then you will be eligible to perform will be able to change 2fa and password

Keep using the same device and browser daily without clearing cookies, facebook usually lifts the restriction in 1–2 weeks.

Usually you will encounter this problem and be limited within about 10 days. If every time you update the information, it will recalculate the days for you.

Yes mate, FB's system can be strict. Just keep using the same device/IP daily, no VPN, and interact normally. Usually takes 7–14 days for them to trust it and lift the block

 

[Win & Win]

Use it consistently for more than a week, post, interact. Then come back and change the information.

When you log into your account on a new device, the system usually imposes initial security restrictions to ensure safety. To gradually increase the reliability of this new device, you should use it regularly for a few days, maintain a stable IP address, avoid clearing cookies, and limit unusual behavior. Ideally, you should use your account on the new device continuously for about a week and have regular activities. After this period, you will be eligible to make important changes such as updating your password and setting up two-factor authentication.

When you use a new device to access your account, security measures are often activated to protect your account, leading to some initial restrictions. To gradually build trust in this device, you should continue to use it regularly for a few days, maintain a stable IP connection, avoid clearing browser cookies, and limit unusual activities.

Because you are using this profile on a new device, Facebook does not allow you to change your password or change any information on your account immediately. You need to wait a few days to get used to it, then you will be able to change your password.

you need to use this device for a while longer it usually takes 7 to 10 days to update the information use it slowly and then you will be able to change that information

 

[Wind Marketing Agency]

Use your device more often instead of just 1-2 hours a day. This will help the restriction to be removed faster.

 

[Jorex]

You need to wait for time to be able to do it and change the necessary information. If you receive this information, your account may not be warm enough. Use the device you are using for a while longer before changing it.

This shows that your account is not warm enough or warm up your account before changing any information especially information related to password and 2fa

 

[Genus Agency]

If possible, try logging in from a device or browser you've used before to make the changes. It typically takes a few days to a week for restrictions to be lifted. During this time, continue using the device you're having trouble with. If the problem persists, you can contact Facebook support for assistance.

 

[EnEnTi]

Find a reputable source to buy it from, then use it for a really long time, more than a week, and then come back to change your password.

I think if I engage in daily activities like posting, commenting, liking, and sharing photos on Facebook, as I normally would, everything should be fine.

 

[CHAP MAN]

When switching devices or updating security settings, temporary restrictions may apply to safeguard your account. Regular use of the same device, stable IP, and natural browsing behavior (no cookie deletion or sudden changes) will help increase trust over time.
