Meta accounts are here

Starting today, you’re no longer required to log into your Meta VR devices using a Facebook account. Find out all about Meta accounts and Meta Horizon profiles on our blog post. You can now set up a Meta account using your email address or Facebook account.

 

If you currently access Meta VR products with an Oculus account, you can continue doing so until January 1st, 2023. After that date, you’ll need to set up a Meta account to continue using your VR device.

 

Meta accounts give you more choice when it comes to how you log into VR and whether Facebook and Instagram are part of your experience. When you set up a Meta account, we’ll migrate your existing information (including apps, achievements, and friends) to this account so you can dive back in.

 

To learn more, watch our tutorial video. To get started, visit our website or open the Oculus mobile app.

        You don't have to set a "new password" for migrating the Account.

        Just do it via mobile app (both headsets connected) and everything will be fine.
        (Firmware on both headsets shoud be v43)

          October, 80% of my App Library needs to be hidden, show hide for esps, with quick launch icons dragged from App Library? I simply can’t understand…

          I appear to have migrated to a Meta account. Did this Friday 26 Aug. I did not use the Facebook option. On my Windows 10 PC the process did not seem to work with Firefox or Chrome and I had to use Edge to get it to work. I tried Firefox in trouble shooting mode as some of the add-ons block some popups.

          Also I was unable to log in to the Forum using the Oculus account until now. I would click on the "login" button and just get a blank web page without being logged so I could not post. I opened a support ticket so this appears to have been resolved.

          Is it possible to turn an account created with Facebook into a Meta Account and remove the Facebook account from it all together? 

           

          (While still owning all of the games and apps on the new meta account)

          Thanks

          Yes ..

          You no longer need Facebook and get the option to continue without Facebook whilst changing to a Meta account. All your stuff gets carried over to your Meta Account.

          I've already done the transition, so I understand what you're saying.  But, have you carefully gone through the Meta/Oculus account settings and made sure the facebook account was in fact severed?  I haven't yet.  And, even if you can't see the facebook account in your settings, someone may want to chat with Meta and confirm on their side that there is no hidden connection, field, with the old facebook account listed.

          Hi, I have a question which I haven't seen addressed anywhere. What if I want to un-couple my Meta account from Fb, but I want to associate it to a NEW email address?

          The account in question was an old Oculus account from Quest 1 times, which then merged with FB when I activated my Quest 2... but through "circumstances" I no longer have access to the old email which was used for the Oculus login. And that email shows as the associated email when I try to de-couple the Meta account.

          I want to choose a NEW email address to pair with this account before de-coupling from Fb. Can you help me with this?

          If it helps anyone and I'm not sure if already mentioned but I followed the instructions in this website and chose to set up the new Meta account with an email and password rather than Facebook. All worked flawlessly, including updating the app. Hope this helps.

          A Meta account allows you to sign into your VR gadgets and view and deal with your bought content in one spot. You can set up a Meta account with your email address or Facebook account. On the off chance that this is your most memorable time making a record to utilize a Meta VR item, you can likewise set up a Meta account with your Instagram account.
