If you’re posting to Facebook or Instagram and receive the following error message:

“Please visit facebook.com from a desktop browser and complete the required security check or confirmation steps. Once confirmed, try your call again. If problems persist, try unlinking and then relinking your account with Ayrshare.”

This can occur due to Meta’s efforts to increase accountability for high potential reach Facebook Pages by requiring that these Pages undergo a security check. If not authorized, the Facebook Page will not be able to publish posts.

Both Facebook Pages and Instagram accounts connected to Facebook Pages will be affected.

​
How to Get Authorized

Log into your Facebook account from a desktop browser. Complete the required security check or confirmation steps. These steps may include:

  • Turn on two-factor authentication for your Facebook account.

  • Confirm your location by turning on Location Services on your mobile device. Update your current city listed on your Facebook Page and then open Facebook from your current location may aid Facebook in determining which country you’re based in. It may take some time for Facebook to confirm your location.

  • If your Facebook Page has a System User, please verify all Business Manager accounts in order to let your System User publish on your page. See How to Verify Your Business on Meta for more information.

When authorized, your Facebook Page name will display a blue badge with white checkmark next to the page name.
