My iPhone app says it found the headset, but the headset does not display the 5 digit code needed to complete the pairing. Instead my Quest 3 only offers the accounts that already are already set up in it. I have updated both the Quest 3 software and my iPhone Meta app, and restarted the headset twice to no effect.

Yes. The pairing does not work. No 5 digit number appears anywhere in the headset.
But nor can I add the new elbooter account to the Quest 3. I got the error message that it was part of another account (apparently my Facebook and/or Instagram accounts) probably, I'm guessing because it used the same email address.
So I replaced the email I listed for this elbooter account on the Meta website, then tried again, both to pair the headset and add a my new elbooter Meta Horizon account on the Quest 3. No luck. When I go into settings on the Quest 3, it only offers me the choice of adding a Facebook or Instagram account, the very thing I thought it was struggling with. At this point, I'm dead in the water because I should not be using the other accounts on the Quest 3. I need my game avatars to be associated with this new elbooter account. Very frustrating.
