Facebook is a social platform with millions of users around the world, but it has also become a target for hackers to attack personal information. Hacking a Facebook account can have disastrous consequences, including access to sensitive information such as profiles, contact information, and financial information. Therefore, if you suspect that your Facebook account has been hacked, take immediate action to recover it.
Let’s take a look at three methods to recover a hacked Facebook account.
Method 1: Use a trusted contact
If you have set up trusted contacts on your Facebook account, you can use them to recover your account. Trusted contacts are your friends who can help you regain access to your account if you forget your password or get locked out. Here are the steps to use a trusted contact:
Go to Facebook's login page and click "Forgot your password?"
Enter the username of your hacked Facebook account, the email address or phone number associated with the account.
On the next page, Facebook will ask you to verify your account. If you have access to an email address or phone number, you can use them for verification. If you can't access them, click "Can't access these?"
Next, Facebook will ask you if you have set up trusted contacts. Select Yes and enter the name of one of your trusted contacts. Facebook will send a message containing the code to the contact.
Contact your trusted contact to get the code.
Enter the code on the next page and you will be prompted to create a new password.
Method 2: Use an alternate email address
Here is a step-by-step guide to recover a hacked Facebook account if you lose access to your phone number and email address:
Repeat the previous steps until you see the "Can't access these?" option.
Click on the "Can't access these?" option. You will be asked to provide another accessible email address.
Enter an email address that you have access to. Facebook will then send a link to reset your password to that address. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password.
Method 3: Report a Hacked Facebook Account
If you have tried the above methods and still cannot recover your hacked Facebook account, your best option is to report the issue to Facebook. The specific operations are as follows:
Go to the Facebook Help Center and click "Get help from Facebook."
Select "Report a login problem."
Click "My account has been compromised."
Follow the instructions given to report the hacked account to Facebook.
Part Three: Preventing Facebook Accounts from Being Hacked
Recovering a hacked Facebook account is not an easy task, so you should make every effort to protect your Facebook account before it gets hacked.
One of the best solutions is to protect your Facebook account using anti-detection browsers. These browsers are designed for anonymous browsing on the web. They can bypass data collection systems and help you stay anonymous. Anti-detection browsers are particularly useful for people who use multiple accounts on social media platforms, as they prevent links between accounts.
Bit Browser is an advanced anti-detection browser with a range of features designed to keep you safe online. It has a built-in proxy system that allows you to browse anonymously without revealing your real IP address. In addition, it comes with a browser profile switcher that can change the digital fingerprint of your browser, giving you a brand new identity to cope with different Internet environments.
