Cannot create a Meta For Developers Account

Hello, I'm trying to create a Meta for Developers account using the browser and PC that I always use to log into instagram and threads, but I keep getting this error when I input the code sent to my email:

You can't make this change at the moment

This is because we noticed you are using a device you don't usually use and we need to keep your account safe. We'll allow you to make this change after you've used this device for a while.
 
This has been happening for over a week, how long do I have to wait before I'm able to create an account?

Thank you for your patience - when you're creating a new Meta for Developers account, are you signing up with a Facebook account, and have you already made a Facebook account, or is this a new Facebook account?

 

We would just like to pinpoint which part of the process is going wrong, so that we know how we can help you further. Thanks!

Hi thank you, I am signing up with an existing Facebook account that I have had for a while, and have recently been using for both Instagram and Threads in a personal capacity.

Thanks for confirming that! Please could you also confirm if you have tried setting up an Developer account using a Meta account which isn't linked to a Facebook account?

I haven't tried that yet, I will try that as soon as I am able, which will unfortunately be next week.

No worries! That would be our next suggestion for now, and we'll be here to help you if you need anything in the meantime.

I am using a Meta account linked to my Facebook account, but I am experiencing the same issue. Could you please advise on how to resolve it?
