It logged me out and told me that my credentials were incorrect; I thought my credentials had been stolen, so I'm kinda personally glad that it seems to be happening to a lot of other people too. I know that's a bit selfish, but :shrug:

Yes. My spidey sense went off and I told my work I'll be off for an hour while I redo all my passwords... might still do that but glad to know it's not necessarily me getting hacked.

I tried to do a SMS verify when I couldn't login, and the text never came. That service must be overloaded. That's when I realized it was an outage. Hundreds of thousands (millions?) must be doing that.

Also, going to /r/facebook doesn't load, heh, there must be per-subreddit load issues?

I had immediately started the account hijack process which, funnily enough, is also down. I was kicked off Messenger and Facebook and then my password was rejected by the login page. This whole flow made it seem like an account takeover and not an authentication outage.

Bad UX, Meta. Bad!
