Failed Business

Author: mistertfy64

The correct password to this problem is "VerificationNeeded123".

While this password is findable, the problem required users to find a saved livestream video on this Facebook page. There are multiple videos, however, the number of videos is small enough that manual searching is sufficient to find the password. The password was hidden in a section of a post that required users to click "See more" in one of the videos, which shows the post's full content (due to the password being many line breaks down after the "See more" cutoff.)

However, Facebook has rolled out a change (not too long ago, in 2025) to one of its policies that affected the storage of past livestream videos. The change now automatically deletes livestreams older than 30 days. Since the livestream was from 2022, the livestream (with the password) was deleted and is no longer found when visiting the Facebook page.

Therefore, the password can no longer be found in the Facebook page. As such, mistertfy64 revealed the correct password to the problem.

Back in 2022, mistertfy64 started a business. His business idea was so cool, and even had a potential customer, he created a page for it. Additionally, he made sure that no one would steal his "awesome" business idea by prepending his name on the business name. He did stream a video or two on it before the page abruptly went silent, due to his business idea "not working" due to technical and legal restrictions and the fact that his business idea has already been accomplished by better, more experienced programmers and lawyers.

In addition, on the start of his business, he was so hasty that some things just… clouded his judgment into unintentionally revealing some business secret. Although this business went defunct, legend has it that if you really look for it, something will present itself to you...
