Help accessing shared account

First, let me say I have ZERO gaming experience and am relatively new to the Quest 2. I have searched the forum for answers to my issue but have been unable to find anything.

After the recent Meta changeover on my headset, I am no longer able to access the second account that was added to my headset. When I try, it tells me that i have to go to the Meta website and enter the code (have already done this on the original profile). However, when I have attempted to do so, it tells me the following:

 

You tried to connect this headset with login info that's not associated with your original account and purchases. 

 

I have gone to the meta url but have no idea what i need to do. Please assist

Hello! Thank you for reaching out!

 

Some people have mentioned the same thing, actually. When the new Meta accounts rolled out, it caused some hiccups and a few people reported it disrupting their secondary accounts. We've been able to get past this particular little spot of bother by disconnecting the secondary account from the primary account, then re-adding it. Once the secondary account has been re-added, things should be golden partner. 🙂

 

If you hit any snags or have any questions at all, let us know!
