"Unable to extract h;" on a private facebook video (two-factor auth not enabled)

[Fusl]

The facebook extracter seems to have stopped working. It did work a few days ago and suddenly stopped (not sure when or why). I don't have two-factor auth enabled in facebook and I am obviously passing username and password to youtube-dl. This is the verbose output:
