This might be the end of Facebook if it lasts long enough.

Invalidating people’s sessions on apps? That’s a HUGE cost. There’s a huge % of users that won’t be able to get back in.



I've known several people who, when they got signed out, couldn't remember their password and access their email, and so made a new account. I'm sure Facebook will see a spike of this.


yeah i'm hoping it was just an auth server outage and browser sessions werent invalidated because this basically described my situation, but i wont have access to the only device i own that still (hopefully) has a an active login session until the weekend to find out


It might not have actually invalidated the session


It does on the app. Logs you out.


I hope so.
