I bought 5 pre-registered Facebook accounts recently. I logged into each one normally using residential proxy, didn't post or interact with anything. They looked fine at first. But the next day, all of them were hit with checkpoint. Most of them now ask for a video selfie, which I probably can’t pass. Not sure if I logged in the wrong way or if Facebook flagged the environment.

I think it's because your proxy is not really clean and I have a lot of old and active facebook profiles

The fact that you bought an old account and logged in with a civilian proxy but still got checkpointed in bulk is because the environment is not "clean" enough for Facebook's system. Even if there is no interaction, Facebook still evaluates based on browser fingerprint, IP, timezone, latency, cookies, and previous behavior history. If you do not use anti-detect browser or do not keep the original environment of the account (IP area where the account was created, device, browser...), the possibility of getting checkpointed is very high, especially for old accounts that were actually active. The request for selfie videos is a sign that the system suspects your identity, and if you cannot clone the old user's behavior, it is almost impossible to overcome.
 
It seems like this situation happens quite often to people recently. But what is the real cause? Is it because of proxy quality? I think it's just because Facebook is updating a new feature. You should make an appeal and wait for the results, according to my survey, the success rate is quite high.
 
Maybe the Proxy is flagged, even a civilian proxy can get your account hacked quickly, if all five accounts are hacked like this, then the proxy quality is probably the main problem. Please change to a stronger proxy

Facebook is scanning strongly for unusual profiles, please change the purchasing source and change the proxy
 
You can record a video of yourself to open checkpoint. I use it for many profiles, the rate of return is also 50-50

When account has suspicious activity, Facebook will ask for facial video verification such as looking straight, blinking, turning right, turning left,...
Do you log in to all 5 accounts with 1 proxy or use separate ones?
 
Thanks everyone for the advice. I was using a rotating residential proxy because I thought switching to a new IP each time would be fine for login. But I guess I was wrong. I also logged in using a regular browser on my normal device. I’ll try switching to a dedicated proxy and use an antidetect browser to see if things go better. Really appreciate all your help.

That means you have been scanned by Facebook. You can appeal by recording a video of your face and your account live
 
Hey @pandainthearea1122 — yeah, this is happening a lot lately.


Facebook has really tightened security around aged and pre-registered accounts, especially when:


  • Logged in from new device/IP (even with residential proxies)
  • No activity pattern (real users have some randomness)
  • Logging in too quickly one after another from the same setup

The video selfie checkpoint is notoriously hard to bypass unless you have the original device behavior + facial data, which sellers usually don’t provide.


Some tips if you try again:


  • Warm them up slowly over a few days (browsing, liking, not just logging in)
  • Use mobile emulators or real Android devices
  • Avoid logging in all accounts from the same fingerprint/session

Sad to say, most aged FB accounts now need a very “human” touch to survive beyond Day 1.
