Adding Removed Account Back

I removed an account from my Quest 2 a while back since the system would be lagging and sometimes quit back to account select when logging into it, and now want to add it back. When I follow the steps from the invite link, it tells me this account is already connected, despite not having a way to log into it. Is there a way around this that doesn't require a factory reset?

Hi SigilOfSkry​ 🙂

maybe the account is still listed here although you removed the account from the headset itself?

https://auth.meta.com/settings/my/devices/

If so, delete it there and try if you can add it again then.

If not, you have to follow steve_40​ suggestion and perform a factory reset.

Sounds like your headset needs a factory reset, regardless.

      YES perfect thanks! I didn't realize there was a second place to remove the account on the other end!
