4. Choose Send code via SMS.
5. Enter the 6-digit code.

2. Recover Your Account Without Email or Phone (Identity Verification)

If you cannot access your email or phone number, Facebook allows identity verification.

Steps:

1. Open: Identity Verification Form
2. Upload a clear photo of your ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID).
3. Enter a new email where Facebook can reach you.
4. Submit the request and wait 24–72 hours.

3. Recover Your Account Using Trusted Contacts

This method works only if you previously activated Trusted Contacts.

Steps:

2. Select “No longer have access to these?”
3. Enter a new email address.
4. Facebook will show you your trusted contacts.
5. Contact your friends and ask them to visit facebook.com/recover.
6. Each friend will receive a unique recovery code.
7. Enter the codes to regain access.

4. Recover Your Account From a Trusted Device

If you logged into Facebook on another device (phone, tablet, or computer), recovery is much easier.

Steps:

1. Open Facebook on the previous device.
2. Go to Settings → Security and Login.
3. Select Change Password or Add Email.
4. Secure your account by enabling 2-factor authentication.

5. Recover Your Account Through Your Google Account (Android)

On Android, Facebook allows automatic login if your Google account is linked.

Steps:

2. Select Continue with Google.
3. Choose your Google account.

6. Recover a Hacked Facebook Account

If someone changed your email, password, or phone number, use Meta’s official hacked-account tool.
