Meta Test Users are automatically associated with the Meta developer organization they are created in and can be used to log into the Meta Horizon app to pair Quest devices. All Meta Quest developers must verify their accounts by providing a payment method and/or phone number in order for their accounts to remain valid. After setting up your Meta account, log into the Meta Developer Center and visit “My Apps” to verify your account and complete the developer account process.
Creating Test Users
Follow these instructions to create Meta Test Users:
If you haven't already, sign up to be a Meta Quest developer. (This only needs to be done once. If you're already using a Meta Quest developer account, skip to step 2)
On your computer, go to the Meta Developer Dashboard
Login to your Meta Developer account
Click this link to create an Organization
Accept the developer agreement
Navigate to the Meta Developer Dashboard.
Tap the drop-down menu next to Development
Choose Test Users from the drop-down menu options
Click Add Test User
Fill out the Create Test User form with the required details: Username prefix, Email prefix, Password, and User Count
Ensure all of the below options are unchecked
Click Submit to create the Test User(s).
After you click Submit, information about the Test User(s) will appear as an item in the Test User list, including a randomly generated Name, Alias, Email Address, and Status.
Whenever you create new Test Users, they are considered a Meta account instead of being considered a Facebook account. Therefore, when logging in to the Meta Horizon app, you need to choose Continue with email.
You cannot reset Test User passwords, so be sure to document your test user passwords or create a generic one you will use for all test user accounts.
Business Verification
To create more than 3 Test Users with a developer account, you must verify your business with Meta. This process requires you to verify business details listed in public records. If the business you're associated with isn't publicly listed, you'll have to submit documents that verify the existence and legitimacy of that business.
Here's what you need to do to verify your business with Meta:
From the left-side navigation, click Org Verification
Click Start verification under Business verification
Select Get Started in the popup window
Enter your organization details and click Next
Select the correct business from the list
Confirm your organization's details
Choose whether you want to receive your verification code via text message or phone.
Enter your verification code.
Click Submit
If your business isn't publicly listed, here's what you'll need to do:
Complete steps 1-5 from the instructions above
Select My business isn’t listed
Confirm your preferred contact method. You'll be contacted through your preferred medium so that you can upload documents to confirm the business details. Email is the recommended medium for contact. Uploaded documents must note the legal organization name, address, and phone number.
After you submit your verification or upload documents, it can take up to 14 business days to receive a decision. You’ll receive a notification when the review is complete.
FAQs
Is there a limit on how many Meta Test Users I can create?
Is there a limit on how many Meta Test Users I can create?
Although there's no documented test user limit, we've had reports that when reaching 1,400 generated test user IDs under a single developer account, the site begins experiencing issues that significantly slow the creation of subsequent test user IDs. The most reported test users we've seen generated for a single developer account is 1,600. If you plan to generate more than 1,400 test user accounts, we recommend creating another developer-enabled account to lighten the load on a single account.
