And instead of deleting it, you can set its value to the value of cookie with name "'''datr'''" from your web browser. In other words, open some kind of '''cookies manager''' in your web browser, find cookie with name "'''datr'''" from facebook.com website, and copy it's value to Miranda as '''DeviceID''''s value.

'''Be careful''' though: This is only temporary solution and it will cause you same problems as you experienced in Miranda (showing captchas or deny sending URLs completely - it's only temporary, though).

Troubleshooting

  • If you can't login in your Miranda, make sure you can login in your web browser. It may be some (unsupported) security check or Facebook's fault.
  • If it works in web browser but you still can't login in Miranda, try to install and open Database Editor (be careful with it!) and delete key DeviceID in branch Settings/<account's internal name> (e.g., Facebook_1) and then try to login again.
  • If you still can't login from Miranda, you can share your working session from your web browser and use it in Miranda. DeviceID in Miranda is basically a cookie holding your session (= remembered login, so you don't need to login every time you open the website in browser). And instead of deleting it, you can set its value to the value of cookie with name "datr" from your web browser. In other words, open some kind of cookies manager in your web browser, find cookie with name "datr" from facebook.com website, and copy it's value to Miranda as DeviceID's value. This way you will share your working session from web browser with Miranda. Be careful though: This is only temporary solution and it will cause you same problems as you experienced in Miranda (showing captchas or deny sending URLs completely - it's only temporary, though).


You need to clean your computer error

This is a message from FB. This problem now affects more people. The solution is to login from any browser where you don't have saved cookies for Facebook (or just delete your Facebook cookies in your main browser), then the same error message will show up there and you will need to just go through the process.

While doing so, make sure you are offline in your Miranda and then delete DeviceID key (through the Database Editor in branch Settings / Facebook – or what the internal name of your account is). This value is actually a cookie which identifies a logged in user (device) – if you will keep the old one here in Miranda, Facebook will still think that this device is infected. Therefore, it is necessary to delete it before attempting to login again.

Reason of this problem is that Facebook probably changed some communication request again, so then it thinks that plugin works as a malware. Because of that it could also show captcha codes when sending links.


Hidden settings

To add/change these options you will need Database Editor plugin.
