Can't sign in to Facebook on Edge browser

Hi Holly,

Good day! This is Jhakesong and I will be happy to assist you with this.

I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience. Try creating another Facebook account for testing purposes. Sign that newly created account in Chrome then in Edge. See if the issue is also present in Edge.

I suggest trying to reset Edge's settings and let's see if that makes a difference. Here's how:

1) Launch Edge
2) Click the 3 dots
3) Go to Settings
4) Click Reset Settings
5) Relaunch Edge, check if the issue persists.

Also, check if you have available updates for Edge. Here's how to check:

1) Launch Edge
2) Click the 3 dots
3) Go to Help and Feedback
4) Click About Microsoft Edge
5) The update should start downloading automatically if there is one available. Just allow it to update.
6) Relaunch after the update and check if the issue still persists.

Finally, if the same problem occurs, Try re registering Edge. Here is a procedure on how to do it.

Let me know how it goes. Have a great day!

Thank you so much JhakeSong, for the very fast response to my issue!

At the moment my problem appears solved by removing any/all cookies relating to Facebook. I think this resolved it because there may have been conflicts with an OLD Facebook account I had a long time ago through the same email address. (a clue for me was that the current account has a profile photo; the old one did not.)

Since it now seems resolved I won't be doing your suggestions, but please be advised that unfortunately Facebook does not allow creating another account as you suggest--though I am sure lots of people would like to have alias/second accounts. (Interestingly, someone at Facebook, a client of a friend of mine, while working on a project had the same suggestion and yet it is their own policy preventing extra accounts.)

I'll keep your link for any future issues. Thanks again for responding. Have a lovely day.

Holly
