No option to login to desktop app via meta account

Hello, I bought a new meta quest 2 and created new meta account using mobile app during the first launch. Everything went fine and I'm able to use Quest as a standalone VR without any issues. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the desktop app. I downloaded it from: https://store.facebook.com/pl/quest/setup/ and installed on my drive. Once I started it, it doesn't seem to allow meta login - see the screenshot below:

I reinstalled the app few times, restarted my PC multiple times, tried changing the language in the app. I even connected my quest as I read someone got some results with that. All to no effect. Then suddenly the option appeared after few hours. No idea why. but I was able to login via email.

I contacted support about this and they responded that I should reinstall the app.
I'm out of town right now, so I haven't tried that, but I'll give it a shot later.
(I'm thinking it probably won't work)

nah i tried reinstalling twice and it still doesn't pop up. kinda lame that they roll it out, but don't let you log in on pc
