Meta outage • Hacker News Board

Sweden, logged out from all devices, Google authentication to reset password results in error. Authorization codes sent via SMS to reset passwords seems non-responsive. Authorization codes to reset password sent by e-mail works, but setting passwords results in set password page two times in a row and after second try "An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again."

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:

I called out some comment for being racist a little earlier (yeah I know, just report and move on...) and figured they'd managed to pwn my account somehow. Good to know it's not just me.

Greetings from Ukraine. And I confirm. First I sought, it is because some war issue in Ukraine (we are at war if somebody don't know), or somebody hacked me, but decided to check HN and seen this thread.

God bless HN and America!

Note that this status page is... less than helpful in the face of an obvious outage.

Meta doesn't do that. For one thing, "Patch Tuesday" is a Windows thing, and 0% of production traffic is served from Windows there. For another, they are constantly and always redeploying.

More likely that someone bungled a deploy of user auth. No doubt they are rolling back as we speak.
