KRAFTON India has officially confirmed that players are facing login issues with Facebook while trying to access BGMI today. Many gamers have reported encountering the “Authentication Error” message, preventing them from playing matches. The company clarified that this is not a bug in the BGMI app itself but an issue originating from Facebook’s login services.
What’s Causing the Problem
The Facebook login problem is linked to unstable authentication services on Facebook’s side. This means that even reinstalling the game, clearing cache, or restarting your device will likely not solve the issue. The problem is external to BGMI, and KRAFTON is waiting for Facebook to restore stable service.

How to Fix the Login Error
While waiting for Facebook to resolve the problem, players can still try alternative methods to access their accounts:
- Use a Linked Secondary Method: If your BGMI account is linked to Google Play Games, Twitter (X), or Apple ID, log in through one of these platforms. These login options are currently working without issues.
- Avoid Constant Retries: Repeatedly pressing the login button may cause temporary IP bans or further errors. It’s better to wait a few minutes between attempts.
- Check for Game Updates: Installing the latest BGMI update can improve communication with external services and may reduce login errors.
Importance of Multiple Login Methods
This incident highlights the importance of not relying on a single login platform. Third-party services like Facebook or Twitter can go down at any time, leaving players locked out. To prevent future disruptions, it’s recommended to link at least one additional social media account or an email address in your in-game settings.
By following these steps, BGMI gamers can continue playing with minimal disruption, even if Facebook’s authentication service remains temporarily unstable.
