Description
## Description of the problem
I am very very new to this but am really keen to access my own FB messenger account to do some basic analysis. I am however getting an error when logging in and even more annoyingly each time FB forces me to change my password to the account.
I have looked at all the other postings here about login issues, tried to replicate what worked for them but with no success.
This is only one example of the codes I used (copied from another thread here) but didn't work
## Code to reproduce
```py
# Example code
from fbchat import Client, ThreadType, Message
client = Client()
async def main():
await client.start("*******", "******")
print(f"Own ID: {client.uid}")
await client.send(Message(text="Hi me!"), thread_id=client.uid, thread_type=ThreadType.USER)
await client.logout()
client.loop.run_until_complete(main())
## Traceback
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "[site-packages]/fbchat/client.py", line 78, in __init__
self.login(email, password, max_tries)
File "[site-packages]/fbchat/client.py", line 407, in login
raise FBchatException('Login failed. Check email/password. (Failed on URL: {})'.format(login_url))
fbchat.FBchatException: Login failed. Check email/password. (Failed on URL: https://m.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1)
```
