Ok, I could enter the developers.facebook.com site today. Some of the semi-random things I tried (not sure if all or a subset of these are needed to resolve the issue):
- Added a debit card
- In facebook web (not app) make sure you have at least one cellphone and one email linked to your account. Both need to be "validated" (a message is sent to the email with a code). If you still run into the block when trying to enter the developers site, create and validate another mail (from the facebook website, not from the developers site initial workflow)
- Do not use google authenticator 2FA. Change it to SMS 2FA
- If you get stuck in the developers initial workflow on validating your email (no new code is sent anymore, but the previous code work):
- logout from everywhere
- log into facebook web
- link a new email account. Make sure you finish validating it
- go to developers.facebook.com, in the workflow select "use a different address" and enter the new address you previously linked
- look in your email for the new code being sent and use it
Hope it helps.
