Can confirm it works with the old facebook… Hope an update soon to support the new one.

You can do that by passing an OLD user agent : client = Client(login, password, user_agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko")

In fact in _state.py ; from_session method a “get” on facebook.com return a 200 response but with empty content (Content-Length = 0) : This is not a normal thing, Facebook should return the home page with the login fields.
