Facebook Blocked

Options
As Title: FB has blocked me after I tried to login from my tablet, which I have done so many times without problems. Tried to follow the "single click" login they sent, no go. Then they accused me of trying to access from a device not used before: I have been logging into FB for every one of the 3 years I have owned the Lenovo tablet.

Then FB asked me to carry out security checks. First the checks refused to recognise the birth date that I registered many years ago, and which they use to send me birthday greetings every year! Then I identified 7 people I know by photos, skipping 2 I have never heard of. FB threw that out. Then they asked to send me a text, to the number they (partially) showed, which was obviously mine. No text came to my phone, and I had received 2 from other sources just 15 minutes before that.

!!!!!! is going on?:mad:

    First question has to be: do you have any other devices that use that Facebook account? Including but not limited to desktops/laptops, other tablets, mobile phones, other web browsers? Something as simple as you changing your browser can be seen to Facebook as a new device.
