How to Recover a Facebook Account on Desktop or Mobile

Although technology has made the world a small place, people find it hard to connect with each other. Since its invention, Facebook has come a long way. Now you don't only connect with people; you play games, post your work, promote business, build communities, run support groups, educate, learn, and much more. 

You might think about how Facebook account recovery works. With time you might lose touch with this service, or you never had to log in after the first time, but now you are logged out. But don’t worry, Facebook makes sure that you can log in again, anytime and anywhere.


Easy steps to recover your Facebook Account:

If you need to recover an old account, one that you have not used in a long time, you need to:

  • Open the Facebook log-in page.
  • Then you must go to the account you want to recover. 
  • Locate the three dots near this account information. To process Facebook account recovery, you should tap these dots and choose 'Support' or 'Report Profile.'
  • On the next pop-up, click on 'Choose Something Else.'
  • Then you tap the 'Recover This Account' button. 


The page will show you the steps that will complete this process.


Recover through Family or Friend's Account

Once people log in, they usually end up forgetting their credentials. You keep on using this service, but when you need to log in from another device or accidentally log out, you might start to panic. But there is one more way.

  • When you see the credentials page, select the 'Forgot Account' button.
  • Facebook will send you a number or an email as a Facebook account recovery option.
  • Click 'No longer have access to these.'
  • Next, it will ask you to enter a Friend's number.
  • You will see 'move to reveal my trusted contact' afterward.
  • Now enter the name of this friend.


Now this person will receive a code; you have to use this code to log into your account. 


The Facebook support page has detailed explanations and instructions on different options you have; you just need to visit it and read the information and solve your issue.
