Step 2: When it fails, try to login through Facebook authentication again and again until you are logged in. The above message will be shown.

I’ve had this warning pop up in various languages from time to time over the past year or two. I’m from UK with system language set to English but have definitely seen it in Spanish a couple of times and others I don’t remember.

Same here. In French and Spanish.
