Meta accounts are here

With the introduction of Meta Accounts, has there been any change in how Test Users are created?

I created a new Test User yesterday (2022-08-23) and noticed I was not able to log in with Facebook with the new test user, even though the documentation mentions that a Facebook Test User account is automatically created. It appears that only a Meta Account is created now? Can you confirm?

I have the opposite situation with Test Users created before 2022-08-23. They have a Facebook Test User account. But when creating the new Meta Account, I can't associate the Test User email to the Meta Account.

Ryanality After converting to a meta account, why is it that the only way I can log into any oculus/vr services is still by being forced to "log in with facebook". Wasn't the whole point in this meant to be to seperate the accounts.. What is the difference of having this new meta login if the only way to log in is still via facebook?

This still means if I ever lost access to my facebook account I'm still locked out of any vr experiences and devices

Hey, Ryanality how to buy Quest 2 without facebook login? Shopping cart still tells me that I have to log in to Facebook.

Ok I now got the Oculus app on the P.C. to work along with link. I could not log into it or connect to it. I did a repair install to the app and then it worked. The funny thing is I was logged out of it and it did not ask me to log back in. Also it still says "friends" on the side column but in settings it say options for "followers". I have 1 friend request in the P.C. app but 5 follow requests on the headset itself. Between having 3 different log ins and different friend/following terms with disappearing requests I have no idea what's going on though.

I switched over yesterday after getting the email. Went relatively smoothly, and am now decoupled from Facebook and logged into my Meta account on both Quests, the phone app, and the PC app (I haven’t tried my Go, which hasn’t been used in quite a long time).

The only thing not currently working is the (hardware) store, which doesn’t give the option of signing in with anything other than Facebook.

PC app is broken, can not link quest 2 to PC after upgrade

Hi there, after I successfully migrated my Fackbook to my new Meta account. I also managed to upgrade the Oculus PC APP and Quest2 to version V43. Everything worked fine for the first day, I could open the Oculus PC APP and use the Oculus Link normally.

But after one restart of the Oculus PC APP there was an exception:

1. The old login page appears when logging in, and when logging in with the Meta account, an error appears:
"The version of the app you are using is no longer supported. Please download the latest version to continue operation".

So, where can I download the latest version of the Oculus PC APP if I try to reinstall it? I have already tried to reinstall it by downloading the installer from https://store.facebook.com/quest/setup/. The problem is still there.

After repeated attempts, the Oculus PC APP opens to a blank inoperable state:.

HELP! HELP! HELP! 😭

I was hoping to be able to transfer my (unfairly) disabled Facebook account to a Meta account, because all my purchased games are connected to that. It seems I cannot, so my $200 worth of purchases remain stuck in limbo. Frankly, I am so pissed off! Plus, since updating the software on my headset, I can no longer charge it beyond 53%. I know others are having exactly the same issue. 

I am really starting to think that anything linked to Meta is really not worth spending anymore time or money on. 

Ever since this update I can’t use my oculus quest 2 because when I put in the code for a second it says I’m verified then says I have to generate a new code.

What the heck Oculus??????? 
Can you really not learn how to do migrations like this where they are as transparent and easy for your users as possible?

I picked up my Rift S tonight for a pre-arranged gaming session with friends only to get the all too well known.. "you must take off your headset as we're forcing an update on you".  What in 2022 makes you think this is cool? Wnat?
Normally that's not so bad as it's headset off for a few minutes and then we're back in business and hoping that they've not broken anything and games all still work as before.  Not this time though...

"Want to game on your Rift S tonight...nope.. because we need to force update all your other headsets too and you have a two devices (Quest 1 and Quest2) that will need to be factory reset (why OculMetaFacebook? Why?) if you don't do as we say and get them updated the blurb threatens that you may have to factory reset them. No.. no.. why would you threaten your loyal users with that? why?."

Of course it wasn't possible to update the Quests straight away as I'm mostly a Rift S user and not used the other devices in a while... Oh I'll plug them in and start the updates.  Nope.. "you need 50% charge to do an update". Arrrrrrrgh.  Do your engineers go out of their way to annoy users as much as possible?

So I get the Quests updated.. Nope, the Oculus App still reports only one of them needs updating despite the fact that it is.  Oh well I guess I'll have to brick the Quest 1. then? 

Nope.. Can't setup a new Meta account as I they want to send a code to my email account and for some reason the code isn't coming though.. *sends test email to that account... comes through fine.*  Of course the option for "I didn't get a code" does absolutely nothing at all so simply stuck in a loop now.  There appears to be no possible way to login to change the email account.. or does this need to be done on facebook?  I don't know, but anyway facebook said "you can't use that email account when I tried.  Of course it didn't give a decent reason why just a usual *computer says no* type response.  Thanks.  Useful.

What Engineer signed this all off at Meta?  Who the heck thought it was a good idea to not even let people in to their existing accounts as a fallback.. I couldn't even log in to this forum or to get support (yes I had to sign up for a new account just to post, so it's not linked for use with my purchased games etc).  I don't want my VR account linked to Facebook but at the moment thats looking like the only option?  Will it ever be possible to revert to email account later?  Maybe it would have been a decent idea to put a FAQ together on these things before forcing such disruptive updates on your loyal users.
I'm really getting fed up with Meta controlling VR.. honestly.  And I'm normally one of the ones that can take a lot before having to complain.

Meta... please please please stop being anti your own users.  Please.. just stop.  Just get out of the way and spend more time, effort and money on making our lives easier not harder.
