issue with verified code email to create password

"We're gradually updating people to #Meta_Accounts"

Please, once again, stop saying "we". You do not work for Meta. You are a user. Saying "we" gives a false impression that you are employed by Meta. 

The Ministry of Silly Account Recovery

CAST:

MR. MATHIEU - A confused citizen who simply wants a verification code.

MS CHOLENI - A calm official who insists only "Meta Support" can help.

SHEIKH SHUVOJABID - A man who speaks in long, labyrinthine instructions and insists he speaks for Meta.

MACCYB123 - A stern bureaucrat who repeatedly reminds people they do not work for Meta.

STEVE_40 - A man who believes cookies control the universe.

THE MINISTER OF CODES - A man who physically delivers verification codes by hand, very late.

SCENE 1 - A BLEAK OFFICE LABELED "ACCOUNT CREATION DEPARTMENT"

MR. MATHIEU enters, holding a laptop.

MR. MATHIEU: I'd like to create a password, please. The system says it's sending me a verification code, but I never receive it. Not a sausage.

MS CHOLENI (cheerfully unhelpful): Ah! Only Meta Support can help you. They are not here. They are never here. They exist only in legend.

MR. MATHIEU: But the button says "Send again."

MS CHOLENI: Yes, yes. It's decorative.

SCENE 2 - SHEIKH SHUVOJABID BURSTS IN WITH A SCROLL

SHEIKH SHUVOJABID: First you must enter the Meta Account Center, then Manage Your Connected Experiences, then Learn More, then About Accounts Center, then- (He unrolls the scroll. It hits the floor and keeps going.) -click Sign In with two‑factor authentication, then via SMS, then click your profile picture, then Horizon profile settings, then Quest, then Store PIN… (He continues for several minutes.)

MR. MATHIEU: I just want the code.

SHEIKH SHUVOJABID: We are gradually updating people to Meta Accounts.

MACCYB123 storms in.

MACCYB123: Stop saying we. You do not work for Meta. You are a user. A user! (He points accusingly like a Victorian policeman.)

SHEIKH SHUVOJABID (offended): You have no basic knowledge! You want to quarrel! You must change your nature!

MACCYB123: I merely said you don't work for Meta.

SHEIKH SHUVOJABID: Exactly! And that is why I must speak for Meta.

SCENE 3 - STEVE_40 ENTERS, HOLDING A GIANT COOKIE

STEVE_40: The servers were stuck last night. All my codes arrived at once, like a stampede of digital cattle. (He leans in, whispering.) Also… you must enable cookies. (He holds up the cookie like a sacred relic.) If your browser rejects cookies, the codes cannot pass through the mystical gate.

MR. MATHIEU: So the codes are… blocked by biscuits?

STEVE_40: Precisely.

SCENE 4 - THE MINISTER OF CODES ARRIVES

He enters wearing a trench coat, carrying a giant mailbag overflowing with verification codes.

MINISTER OF CODES: Sorry I'm late. The servers were stuck. (He dumps thousands of codes onto the floor.) Here are all the codes you should have received in the last 30 minutes.

MR. MATHIEU: But I only needed one.

MINISTER OF CODES: We believe in abundance.

SCENE 5 - CHAOS

Everyone begins shouting instructions at MR. MATHIEU simultaneously:

"Contact Meta Support!"

"Click the profile drop‑down!"

"Enable cookies!"

"Stop saying we!"

"Your nature must change!"

MR. MATHIEU slowly backs out of the room, buried under a mountain of verification codes.

FINAL BEAT

A narrator steps in.

NARRATOR: And so, after great effort, Mathieu discovered the true secret of account recovery: Wait half an hour and turn your cookies back on 🍪.
