[QUOTE="BobHas, post: 1942384, member: 387208"] Monterey on a 27" 2017 iMac Freshly downloaded Messenger v208.0 Facebook is whatever I via the the web with Google Chrome V124.0.6367.62 Messenger (and Facebook) works OK on my iPhone, MBP on Catalina, and a mid-2011 27" iMac on High Sierra. I think I had seen Messenger work before on the 2017 iMac. Recently I did a clean reinstall of Monterey. Not sure, but I think this started at that point. The first time I tried to launch Messenger after that It came up with a screen with something about granting what seemed to be rather excessively broad permissions. I don't recall exactly what, but lots. I declined to doo that. I don't recall exactly how. Since then any time I launch Messenger I get that window above with Getting Started and please give permissions to access stored credentials. There is nothing else in the window and nothing in the menus. I have searched around looking for an idea of what I might need to grant with no luck so far. I have deinstalled it with App Cleaner & Uninstaller, and reloaded it fdrom the app store several times with no change. It kind of feels like whatever I did the first time when I did not follow the link to granting acceses maybe something somewhere was put in a state that Messenger is now seeing and acting as I mentioned. Note, I see a good bit mentioned around Facebook login. I hardly ever have to do that. I suspect because I use Dashlane to store and supply passwords to apps. Maybe MacOS is storing something too. I know that I do not see any request for login when the above is going on. Maybe I am somehow tripping up over some of the newer security "features" the considerably newer version of MacOS - I am gradually learning/relearning the newer stuff. I mostly have used the High Sierra system and fallin behind, at least in some ways. [/QUOTE]
