For both companies? Or is the report of Google auth being down only tied to meta logins, and a misdiagnosis?

Google logged me out of an account and I had trouble logging back in. downdetector also reports Google having issues and friends also had trouble with both.

I had just added Google Authenticator as a two factor ligon for both Instagram and FB not ten min before it happened so I thought it was something got messed up when setting that up. I got a msg on FB saying session expired and tried to log back on with Unexpected error. Then thought I was hacked until my husband confirmed same on his account.

What are the chances this is GPT-5 that has escaped and gone rogue?

Jest aside, i wonder when/if stuff like that will actually happen.

And rather than an indication that it is not working, I was just told to login again; since the attempts were unsuccessful, I was led to reset my password. Now I have no clue if the password has been reset properly or an old one is used, or login with google is used, or if I will continue to be logged out after they fix stuff. If your service is down, please say "my service is down".

I lament the fact error messages are rarely, if ever, displayed anymore. Just a generic message in its place, usually not even indicating whether it's a 'you' problem or a 'them' problem :(

There are so many microservices everywhere with different teams responsible, that if just one team doesn't forward errors properly it is messed up.

Every outage there is a discussion about how these status pages are failing to adequately notify and describe the problem. Is there anyone out there doing it right?

Special bonus: today is Super Tuesday, which is when a large number of US states have their primary elections.

I'm sure people will be able to vote even if their vacation pictures are unavailable

I agree with the first part but the second is taking it too far. Plenty of people use Facebook messenger for communication about semi-important things. Not seeing how that would affect the primaries but it is not jsut for vacation pictures.
