5 Steps to Recover Your Hacked Facebook Account and Keep It Secure

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to recover a hacked Facebook account:

Change your password

  1. Change your password: If you can still log in to your account, change your password immediately. If you can't log in, use the "forgot password" option to reset it.

Verify your identity

  1. Verify your identity: Facebook may ask you to provide a valid ID or take a photo of yourself using your webcam. Follow the instructions provided by Facebook to verify your identity.

Check your email and phone number

  1. Check your email and phone number: Make sure the email and phone number associated with your account haven't been changed. If they have, change them back immediately.

Use 2FA authentication

  1. Use two-factor authentication: Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account.

Remove your account from Facebook

  1. Remove your account from Facebook: If you've changed your primary email address, remove your account from Facebook to prevent the hacker from accessing it again.

Remember, the most important thing is to keep your password secure and not share it with anyone. Also, be sure to monitor your account for any suspicious activity and report it immediately to Facebook.
