"IndexError: list index out of range" (can't connect to Facebook?)

[chrisbeckstrom]

I feel like I'm so close, but maybe missing some detail somewhere. I'd be grateful if anybody could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong here!

when I run python3 fbridge.py, here's what I get:

same, i hate fb so difficult to work with.

[nileplumb]

been trying again today no success have tried various python's, PR's, forks and and their patches, and the alternative fbchat-asyncio.

simply defining my password leads to a 2FA request, which it seemingly passes then the above error occurs/
using an AppPassword instead gets this error

This seems to be a problem from "fbchat" itself. When I try a very simple login script it doesn't work.

Edit: Well it seems the project isn't maintained anymore. https://github.com/fbchat-dev/fbchat Look at the readme.

Edit 2: Also when reading around in the issues there, seems like facebook changed something drastically again...so yeah.

I can successfully log in using pidgin's lib purple Facebook of that helps route a successful path at all

I tried making an alternative to this repo. Here it is: https://github.com/powerjungle/fbridge-asyncio

Anyone that can help or leave feedback, please do!
