We relied on the version of the Facebook API that expired on March 25. The next oldest version changed the response format of the oauth/access_token
route from a URL-encoded query string to JSON.
I updated our parsing of the response, and the fix is out in production now.
While it is up to the development team to fix the issue, there is a way out until then. You can create a password for your account using your facebook email address without having to login.
