After Recovery

Once you regain control:

• Change your password again (to something completely new).
• Go to Settings → Security and Login → Where you're logged in. Click See More → Log out of all sessions.
• Review Settings → Apps and Websites – remove any apps you don't recognize.

The Recovery Process:

1. Go to the Facebook login screen and click Forgot password?
2. Enter your email or phone number.
3. Choose how you want to reset: Email or Text message (SMS).
4. Enter the code sent to you.
5. You will be prompted to create a new Facebook password.

4. What To Do If You Forget Your Password

Facebook has built-in recovery options, but they are only as secure as your recovery info. Change your password again (to something completely new)

• Set up a trusted email and phone number ahead of time.
• Designate "Trusted Contacts" (friends who can help you verify your identity).
• Save your recovery codes (Facebook gives you 10 one-time use codes when you set up 2FA). Print these and store them in a safe place.

Warning: Scammers often pose as "Facebook Support" offering to help recover a password. Facebook will never ask for your password via email, chat, or phone. The Recovery Process:

"My Password is Correct, but Facebook Won't Accept It"

• Cause: Caps Lock is on, or you are using a different keyboard layout.
• Fix: Type your password into a text editor (like Notepad) first to verify it's what you think it is, then copy-paste it into Facebook.

The "Long Phrase" Method

Forget the old advice of mixing P@55w0rd!. Hackers crack short, complex passwords faster than long, simple phrases. Aim for at least 12 characters.
