I tried to log back on to the FB app and also didn’t receive a text message. But I looked on the Android Firefox version and (apparently since I didn’t try to access it from there during The Crisis of 2024) I was still logged in and there was a message telling me that an unknown device was attempting to log in, is it me. I confirmed that it was and then the FB app was allowed to log in without the SMS.

(I have to use the app now because [this browser problem](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/something-terrible-happened-to-my-android-facebook-ui/995794) was never resolved.)
