🔐 How Can I Recover a Hacked Facebook Account?
Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, and that also makes it a frequent target for hackers. If your Facebook account has been hacked or compromised, don’t panic — there are steps you can take to regain access and secure your account. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.
🚨 Signs Your Facebook Account Has Been Hacked
Before attempting recovery, confirm if your account is truly hacked. Here are some common signs:
- Your email or password has been changed.
- Your profile name, photo, or email address has been updated.
- Friends report receiving strange messages from your account.
- Posts appear on your timeline that you didn’t create.
- You’re logged out of all devices.
✅ Step-by-Step Guide to Recover a Hacked Facebook Account
🔎 1. Try Logging In with Your Current Credentials
Visit Facebook.com and attempt to log in. If it works, immediately go to Settings > Security and Login and:
- Change your password
- Review devices and log out of unknown ones
- Enable two-factor authentication
If you can’t log in, move to the next step.
🔄 2. Use the Facebook Account Recovery Page
Go to: https://www.facebook.com/hacked
This page is designed for hacked or compromised accounts. Facebook will guide you to:
- Enter your email, phone number, username, or full name
- Follow on-screen instructions to verify your identity
- Reset your password
📧 3. Check Your Email for Security Notifications
Facebook usually sends emails when account changes are made. Look for:
- “Your Facebook password was changed”
- “You’ve requested a password reset”
If you see a link that says “Revert this change” or “Secure your account,” click it immediately.
🧾 4. Confirm Your Identity with Facebook
If basic recovery doesn’t work, Facebook may ask you to verify your identity:
- Upload a government-issued ID (e.g., Aadhaar card, driver’s license, passport)
- Answer account security questions
- Identify friends from photos
This helps Facebook ensure you’re the rightful owner.
📱 5. Try Logging in from a Recognized Device or Location
If recovery isn’t working, go back to a device or location you’ve used before (home Wi-Fi, old phone) and try logging in. Facebook’s system often trusts familiar activity.
🛡️ After You Recover Your Account
Once you’ve regained access:
🔐 Secure Your Account:
- Change password (strong, unique, never shared)
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Remove suspicious apps or browser extensions
- Review account activity in “Security and Login” settings
🔔 Alert Your Friends:
Let your friends know that your account was compromised. Tell them to ignore any strange messages sent during that period.
🚫 What NOT to Do
- Don’t click on suspicious “recovery” links from unknown sources.
- Don’t share your recovery code or OTP with anyone — even if they claim to be from Facebook.
- Avoid using the same password on multiple sites.
