The session shows up as the name 'Mac OS X Internet Account' because iOS and MacOS use the same frameworks for internet accounts, so Facebook detects it as MacOS framework. The active session is likely the one you set up in your iPhone 5C settings, to allow system-wide Facebook sharing and posting.

Your Mac comes with specialized Apple apps: Safari web browser, Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Messages, FaceTime, Photos & iMovie. You’ll want to use them whenever possible to get the full Mac experience. And if you’ve used an iPhone or iPad, they’ll immediately look familiar… but with even more features.

• While most Mac users only have a single account on their computers, it can be useful to create additional accounts for friends, family, or coworkers. This is easy to do, and all of your files are secure even when another user works on your Mac.
• While you can easily configure and use your Microsoft account on Windows, Android, and iOS, the Mac requires a bit more work. Open System Preferences and navigate to Internet accounts.
• A simple, succinct guide to setting up email and social network services within macOS.
• I'm running OSX 10.12.6. For some random reason, my internet accounts pane has cleared & I cannot add any new accounts: I'm an IT tech & can confirm that I have not manually removed the account. I did have an update the other day, but not sure what it was as I didn't investigate. ICloud is still registered. Any thoughts as to what might be.

Internet Account Mac

Now you’re ready to learn how to use Mail, Contacts, Calendar and other apps.

Which checkboxes do you need to turn on? You don’t have to enable everything. For example, you might not enable Google contacts if you’re already syncing them through iCloud. But if you have a personal account and a company account, you might check the boxes next to Mail and Calendars in each account. The Mail app will then show both inboxes, and Calendar app both calendar systems. Even so, your home mail & calendars will be stored in your personal account, and your employer has no access to them on their system. That’s the beauty of the Apple apps: they can show information from multiple sources, while storing them separately and securely.

Having trouble? Your account and passwords on the Mac and the account’s web page must match. If you reset your account password on the web, you must change settings in Internet Accounts. Sometimes the easiest way to do this is to remove the account and add it again (step 3). Your data will be downloaded again.
