At first after attempting to send email through pc I then tried mobile it did not work. I then thought it was Facebook so I reset my Facebook password and tried plugging that in as password. That did not work so I began to guess many times until Oculus sent me a conformation email to verify it was me. Which means the app can send emails but the browser can't. So I thought maybe there was a way to reset through the mobile app(there wasn't).
Hi there, thanks for bringing this to the community. Being locked out of your account is never fun. Oculus emails have sometimes been known to be marked as Promotions/Sales even if it's a password reset email, so if you have a filter for Promotions/Sales check that folder and see if the email is there. If not, please try and open a support ticket using this link.

The email for password reset never arrives, it doesn't go to spam either.
Your only option is factory reset (hold down power and volume down then choose from the menu) and set up with a new email not linked to FB. Say bye to all purchased games.
@NoahCyrus12 Sorry you are having this issue, it can be very frustrating when things are not working as expected.
I'm not extremely familiar with this issue but can you confirm if you are trying to reset your Meta account password? If so, are you doing that from the Meta Accounts page?
If you are able to login here with your Facebook account, then maybe you can confirm the email address and reset the password there? I've seen some confusion about which email address is being used because you may have one on your Meta account and one on the Facebook account, so there may be no password to reset if no account exists with that email address. I've seen this happen with other apps too.
Hope this helps!

I'm facing the same issue here. My original account is (REDACT). I realized this problem when Meta did not send an email as I tried to purchase a game. That's when I noticed I couldn't remember my password, and I also had no way to retrieve the PIN or password since the email resend feature doesn't work. I created this account to post in the forum, as it's impossible to seek help without a recoverable Meta account. This also represents a flaw in logic.
