I received a notification stating that someone had logged into my account from a different location, prompting me to change my password. However, the following day, I was asked to change it again. Subsequently, when I attempted to log in, I was informed that the password was incorrect. I have been trying to regain access to my account but have encountered difficulties due to not having access to my previous email linked to Facebook. Despite correctly identifying my friends, the system prompted me to use a code generator, which required logging into Facebook. Upon following Facebook's instruction to check page roles I manage, I discovered unfamiliar names associated with pages I have no connections to.

I recently encountered an issue logging into my Facebook account. Upon attempting to log back in with my usual password, I received a message indicating that it had been changed. Oddly enough, I did not modify my password myself. Regrettably, the linked email address is outdated, and I cannot recall the login credentials. Furthermore, I no longer have access to the phone number connected to my account due to getting a new phone and number. This situation is causing me significant distress, and I am unsure how to proceed. I am seeking assistance to recover access to my Facebook account promptly to prevent future instances of this nature that may cause me undue worry.

I recently got a new computer but had difficulty transferring my Facebook account, so I ended up creating a new account with a new password and email address. Now, I can't recall the login details of my old account. I've also added friends on this new account. How will they be affected if I switch back to my old account? My son-in-law hesitated to accept my friend request, fearing my account was hacked. I need assistance in recovering the password for my old account and transferring it to my new computer with a new email. I appreciate any guidance or a contact number for further help. Thank you.

Hello, there seems to be an issue with accessing my Facebook account. I recently changed phone numbers and email addresses due to personal harassment from an ex-partner. However, in the process, I can no longer access my account as the verification codes are being sent to my old email address and phone number. My Facebook contains important memories, especially of my children, and I would like to regain access. Is there any way to help me with this situation? I am willing to provide identification to prove ownership of the account. Please advise on how I can proceed. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

I am the new media volunteer at our church and am handling an issue with our Facebook user account. The account was set up over 5 years ago by someone who is no longer with the church, and we do not have the login details or contact information used during setup. This has led to outdated information being displayed on Facebook since we cannot access the account to make updates. We need assistance from Facebook to regain access to the account. I am seeking guidance on the authorization required to reset the username and password so I can manage the account on behalf of the church. Thank you.

I'm having an issue with my Facebook account. It requested a security check, and during the process, Facebook sent a new confirmation code to my new email address because my associated phone number is temporarily blocked. However, there is no prompt on the screen asking me to enter the code to recover my account. After numerous attempts, Facebook notified me of misusing these features. I'm tired of these daily security checks for the past month. Please assist me in recovering my account. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Someone said my account wasn't mine and you deleted it. The issue is I was actively using the account. I am a Golf Clash member in the Glenamaddy Clan. Deleting my account erased my Rip account with Glenamaddy. Please restore my account so I can resume playing Golf Clash. The case study number you used was [redacted][redacted]. I hope to hear from you soon. - Martin R.

My sister, aka J. J., is having trouble accessing her Facebook account under the name Jessie Johnson. She's been unable to log in using the usual email and password and even when attempting to reset the password via email, she's locked out of her email too. It seems like her accounts have been hacked. We attempted to create a new Facebook using my alternate email, but she keeps getting blocked. We also submitted a picture of her ID, but it hasn't resolved the issue. We're feeling stuck at this point.

I'm in the process of setting up my boutique page and would like to use the @username "blueanchorboutique" or "blueanchor." Unfortunately, these usernames are already in use by pages that have not been active since [redacted], and one of them is no longer in business. I've attempted to reach out to the owners of these pages, but I have not received a response yet. I appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you.

On 9/27/19, I attempted to share an article from a website I can't recall, and encountered a message saying I was not signed in. Checking my Facebook account, I discovered it was disabled. Upon reinstalling the app as suggested by my sister, I could sign in again but lost all my content such as pictures, friends, and posts - only retaining my birthdate and phone number. This issue arose after updating to iOS 13, which seems unique to my situation. Although I still receive a notification on my iPad about the disabled account, I have yet to delete and reinstall the app. Prior to this, I received a suspicious popup asking if I was trying to sign in from another device, which vanished before I could respond, raising concerns about a possible hacking attempt.

I have a few Instagram accounts - sarbearstare, sarbearthings, motherfuckingmath, and jealouscreatures. However, Facebook is suggesting I create a business page for an Instagram account called "diablosbarbie." I haven't come across this account before and I'm concerned if it's linked to my Facebook account. If it is connected, I'd like to have it unlinked. Thank you.

Dear Help Desk,
I recently changed companies and attempted to update my preferred email contact on Facebook. However, I received a message stating that my home email account is already associated with another account. This seems unlikely as I have been using this home email for over 20 years. It's possible that I may have unknowingly signed up with another account in the past, but I do not recall doing so.
My current account is linked to my old email, [redacted], and I am trying to change it to [redacted] My name is Peter Tobia, and you can reach me at [redacted]. Please contact me via my home email as I will no longer have access to my work email soon. Thank you.

I got blocked from posting on FB for quoting “Trump is a con man who doesn’t have to be smart if his victims are stupid enough.” It's frustrating because I've seen much worse on the platform. Please lift the block, FB should focus on more important issues, like Russian posts, rather than restricting citizen voices.

Hello. My name is Lance Sherwood. Recently, someone hacked into my account by figuring out my password. After changing it and going to bed, I woke up to find they had done it again. They changed all my linked emails and phone numbers, except for one email I had deleted long ago. Unfortunately, I'm unable to recover it. When attempting to log into Facebook, I was prompted for an authorization code that I don't have. This is the situation I'm currently facing. Thank you for your help, I hope to resolve this issue soon.

My daughter’s account was hacked by her ex-girlfriend, who changed all the passwords. My daughter, Paige S., is unable to access her Facebook account. She has already reported the issue, but the accounts have not been removed. Shakia R. B. is posting inappropriate content about my daughter, and I would like both accounts to be taken down. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I participate in various work-from-home online jobs via Facebook groups. Someone named Spazzo Jean convinced me to use a method involving Cash App and PayPal to glitch and reverse payments. After sending an initial $40, he asked me to accept and pay multiple $40 payment requests to supposedly trigger a refund. I managed 3 transactions but couldn't continue due to lack of funds. He promised a refund or $[redacted] if it didn't work, but then blocked me on Facebook. I seek a refund promptly as he failed to deliver the promised service and appears to be scamming others. Immediate action is necessary, and he ought to be banned from Facebook.

Hello, I wanted to share that I created a 2nd Facebook Page to promote my new business. Initially, it was going well, but Facebook ended up shutting it down, thinking I was discussing political or social issues. I received a pop-up notification requesting photos of my ID, and I complied by submitting my driver's license front and back. Subsequently, I got a letter in the mail with a unique code "3HMX3X" instructing me to visit www.facebook.com/id. Upon trying to enter the unique code, I encountered a technical issue where the spot was greyed out and not accepting any input. It seems this code is meant to permit discussions on social, political, or election matters, which I'm not interested in. The letter mentions I need to enter this code by October 30/19. I've attempted to reach out to Facebook for assistance through various means but have been unsuccessful. I'm seeking help on how to address this issue. Bob F.

To set up a business account, I need to have a FB account. I created one back in June [redacted] that I haven't used. I tried to reactivate it, answered security questions, changed the password, then got asked to upload ID without other verification methods like identifying people or tags. I don't want to share my ID due to privacy concerns. How can I verify my identity without sending my ID?
