"Unexpected error" on email confirmation step – developer registration stuck for 2+ days
Hi,
I've been trying to register as a Meta for Developers user for two days and I'm stuck at the same step every time. I'm not creating a new account — I'm logging in with an existing Facebook account and going through the developer onboarding at developers.facebook.com.
The flow breaks at the Contact info step, when I click "Confirm email". I get the following error message:
> "Se ha producido un error inesperado. Vuelve a intentarlo más tarde."
> ("An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later.")
**What I've already tried:**
- The Facebook account has been active for years and has a verified email
- Added and verified a phone number
- Enabled two-factor authentication (both Authenticator app and SMS)
- Added a payment method to both Facebook Pay and Meta Pay
- Cleared cookies and browser cache
- Tried in incognito mode
- Tried on mobile browser
None of these have made any difference — the error appears consistently at the same point.
The account meets every requirement I'm aware of. This seems like a backend issue on Meta's side, since nothing I do on my end changes the outcome.
Has anyone managed to resolve this? Is there a way to escalate this to Meta support without already having a developer account?
Thanks
