When I try to log into my fb account on desktop I need to get the code from the Code Generator on the mobile app which I can't get because I can't log in there either because I don't have a 3rd party authentication app and I don't have the recovery codes. When I don't fill in the code it asks me to 'try another way' which it doesn't give me, it only explains where I can find the Code Generator or use a browser where I am logged in.. It also says that it will re-send an sms which I don't get. I do receive sms for changing the password.
What can I do???
It all started when I got logged out every 10 minutes. Once I got logged out of the phone I was stuck.
Can anyone help me???
Thank you

I just got in the same situation as you guys. I have no access to my Authenticator app and don't get the option to verify my account with my phone. Did someone find a solution?

Hi! I am having the same problem as you guys!! Can’t get my profile back… are there any updates regarding this? Did one of you managed to recover their Facebook account?

Same problem. Get all the way thru to upload ID and it won't upload. I've cleared caches, reinstalled, turned off extensions, used 3 different browsers and an imac,ipad, iphone, and a laptop. Ridiculous.

Completely true. I had already Google Authenticator installed on my phone but can’t just get a code if you are not logged in

I'm in the same boat. Asking me for a login code from a code generator that I don't have and have never used. Only giving me one option to authenticate. When I go to my mobile app and go to code generator I get an error when I click activate. I'm also the sole owner of a business manager and have lost all access to my client accounts. If I don't get it back I'll lose my business. Has anyone found a solution? Facebook has been no help at all.

Got the solution!! 

Download Google authenticator and use the code generated from google authenticator for Facebook to login. Voila!

You will still need to log in first  to get the QR  code..

Could you please confirm you were able to generate the code for Facebook? I'm asked to either "Scan a QR code" or "Enter a setup key" and none of them could work if I can't login to Facebook

If you can't log in you can't GET a qr code.
