Reconnecting Facebook & Instagram Accounts After Access Token Error


Error Message:
Error validating access token: The session has been invalidated because the user changed their password or Facebook has changed the session for security reasons.


What Does This Error Mean?
  • Your Facebook or Instagram account has been disconnected from Flamel because of a password change or Facebook session reset for security reasons.

  • This is a security feature that protects your accounts by requiring you to confirm it’s still you after major changes.


How To Fix It in Flamel


Step 1:
Log in to Flamel.ai and go to the Social Accounts or Integrations page.

Step 2:
Look for any notice about account connection issues or expired sessions for Facebook/Instagram.

Step 3:
Click the Renew Login or Reconnect button for Facebook and/or Instagram.

Step 4:
Follow the prompts to reauthorize your account:

  • A Facebook/Instagram login window will open.

  • Enter your current credentials and accept the requested permissions.

Step 5:
Wait for Flamel.ai to confirm reconnection. You should now see your account as “Connected.”


Troubleshooting


  • If reauthorization fails or you’re asked for permissions you don’t see, ensure you’re logging in with the correct personal account (not a business manager or page account).

  • Make sure pop-up windows aren't being blocked by your browser.

  • After reconnecting, you may need to select your pages, profiles, or business account again.


Why Is Re-login Required?


Once Facebook detects any sensitive change (such as a password reset), all existing app sessions and tokens must be reset for security. The only way to restore app access is to manually reauthorize using the Renew Login button.
