Can't create a developer account

This issue is unfortunately pretty common when trying to create a Meta developer account using a personal Facebook profile—especially if you're logging in from a new device, VPN, or private/incognito browser. Meta’s security system sometimes flags these as suspicious, which leads to the "You can't make this change at the moment" message.

Here are a few things you can try:

Use a familiar device and network: Try logging in again using a device and internet connection you've used with your Facebook account in the past. This might help Meta recognize the device as trusted.
Wait it out: As frustrating as it is, the error message literally means you have to wait. Some users have reported the restriction lifting after 24–72 hours of normal account activity from the same device.
Use the Facebook app: Try going through the developer account creation process from the official Facebook mobile app rather than a browser.
Avoid VPNs or proxies: Make sure you’re not using a VPN, proxy, or privacy extensions that might mask your actual location or device fingerprint.
Meta support workaround: It’s true that developer support requires a dev account, but you can still report a problem via the regular Facebook Help Center. Alternatively, if you have access to a Meta Quest device, try contacting support via the Meta Quest Help page—some users have found success that way.
Alternate Facebook account (if applicable): As a last resort (and if it complies with Meta’s policies), you could consider creating a new Facebook account solely for development, but ensure it’s fully verified and aged a bit before attempting dev registration.

Hope this helps! You're definitely not alone—Meta’s account verification process can be a bit of a bottleneck for new devs.
