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

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.
I’m repeatedly performing the same tasks every day to enhance natural activation, mimicking human behavior. I use a residential IP and a different browser for each Facebook account.

This is due to the fb account, there are many types of accounts that can be changed immediately when logging in to a new device, you can also wait 1-2 more days to change the password and 2fa
 
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!

Facebook will have times like this. Check your account information again to fix this error.
 
New devices are often restricted when changing security to ensure safety. Continue to use the device regularly for a few days, keep the IP stable, avoid deleting cookies and limit unusual behavior.
 
If you have tried waiting for a week and still cannot change your password, it means you should wait a little longer, maybe 10 days or half a month.
 
If you want to change 2fa, you need to soak your account on a new device every week to be able to change it.
 
New devices often have limitations and require re-verification of information. Please try using a different device or an older device to log in.
 
if you can take risks, you can wait more, in about a few weeks.
In this time, pls check and manage your account carefully.
if not, please try to use another account.
 
I have also encountered some cases like this recently. But if it's your account which is used for a long time before, you can try to change password in your old device.
if you can't access to that device, using new one need more time to change the password.
