I am locked out of Facebook due to two-factor authentication. I have had no encouraging news regarding how to get back on. This all happened because my old iPhone was dying, I traded it in for a whole $160 and while everything was transferred to my new iPhone, my authentication apps' information was not. I did not know this was an issue, nor did Apple mention it. Facebook has a huge problem with this, yet doesn't seem to be fixing it.
