Forgot Facebook password: ways to recover access
The use of social networks is not only pleasant communication, information search, new acquaintances. They impose certain obligations on us. For example, create passwords and logins to secure accounts. The more complex the password you come up with, the more difficult it will be for attackers to hack the page and the higher the likelihood of encountering another problem - forgetfulness. Not many people get into the habit of writing down all created identities in a separate secure place. And if you forgot your Facebook password, then our article will help you regain access to your profile.
What to do if you forgot your Facebook password?
The password can be forgotten or lost. Not infrequently, when changing a mobile phone or reinstalling the operating system on a computer, the saved data disappears. What's left to do? Follow instructions:
If you select email, a message with a link will be sent to the specified address. Follow it and create a new password.
By choosing the second option, you will receive a special code that you will need to enter in the required field.
What to do if you forgot your login?
What to do if you do not remember your login and in general, what data did you specify during registration? There are several options for solving the problem:
- Ask your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend to open your Facebook profile. Pay attention to the address bar: the last letters in it are your login.
- If your login was an email address or phone number, then we also connect friends and acquaintances and ask you to look at the contact information on your page. But if you have not filled out this section in your account, then the only thing left is to sit and randomly enter all the data that could be your login.
What other ways are there to restore access?
- Recovery via personal question:
- Select "Forgot Password".
- Select the No More Access? button.
- Answer the personal question you created in the settings and you're done - your page is back with you. It remains to change the login and set a new password.
- Through friends. FB offers a unique feature to return access to the page - through friends. If you have indicated the names of those whom you trust in the settings in the "Trusted Contacts" section, then:
- Select "Forgot password".
- Select No More Access.
- And enter your name or a friend's name.
- He will receive a special code by mail or phone number, which he must tell you, and you enter it in the input field.
How to change your Facebook password?
All security tips recommend changing your password at least once every few months to protect your account. In addition, you need to change the password immediately, as soon as suspicious actions were noticed, but occurring without your permission.
Changing your password is easy:
Now create yourself a strong password. If you can't remember, write it down in a notebook. Reliable data is one that consists of at least six characters - letters (uppercase and lowercase) and numbers. Do not use easy-to-guess combinations: name, date of birth, phone number, and so on.
Is it possible to find out the old identification data?
According to the security rules of Facebook and other social networks, no one will provide old identification data at your request. Someone says that even the FB security service does not have access to this data, since it is encrypted.
Such strict measures are set not because of some stupid whims, but because your account has not become available to an outsider.
Why can't I restore access?
It happens that after trying all the ways, there was no access, and no. In this case, the reason may be:
- Communication problems if the code or link does not come. Try to do everything again after a while.
- There is a link, there is a code, but you can’t get access? Most likely, this is a system glitch, you also need to wait a while and try again.
Conclusion
Getting access to the page again is not so difficult if you remember your login, or the answer to a personal question, or indicated trusted contacts. In difficult cases, when nothing helps, you can always try to contact technical support, and they will try to solve your problem.
