Hello,

I own an Oculus Rift (not S) and a Meta Quest 3 (bought resently)

After 1/1/24 I can't log in to my Oculus account through PC Oculus app.

I've deleted and reinstalled Oculus app.

I tried through different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Edge).

I have had an active Meta quest account before 1/1/24.

I have access to my Oculus informations through Meta Quest account.

Log into a Meta account using [Log into a Meta Account] button doesn't work.

When I try to Log in oculus account through email, I get error message about incorrect username/password.

 I forgot my password option doesn't respond.

Help option doesn't respond.

I sent a message to support three days ago providing all information available to me. I got no response.

How should I proceed?

Thank you, my problem was solved. I wanted only to let you know (in case anyone else needs the tip) that I had to reset the headset to factory settings (as I was instructed through an email from metas support).
