Getting hacked is scary. Your posts, photos, and personal info feel exposed. However, following the How to Recover Your Hacked Facebook Account guide can help you to take your account back. Here’s how.
Spot the signs
Strange logins, password changes, or spam sent to friends mean trouble. If you can still log in, act fast.
Step 1: Secure your account
Log in, go to Settings → Security and Login. Log out of unknown devices.
Step 2: Use Facebook’s recovery tool
If you’re locked out, visit facebook.com/hacked. Follow the further instructions. If those are compromised, select “No longer have access” to add a new one.
Step 3: Confirm your identity
Upload a clear ID photo if asked. Sometimes, you’ll be asked to name friends or verify past activity. Be patient—reviews can take a few days.
Step 4: Regain control
Once you’re back in, remove suspicious emails, numbers, and devices. Reset your password again. Enable two-factor authentication. Turn on login alerts for new devices.
Step 5: Strengthen security
Use a unique password. Store it in a password manager. Remove unused connected apps. And never reuse passwords across sites.
If recovery fails
Keep trying the recovery form. Submit your ID again if needed. Users with Meta Verified accounts sometimes get faster support.
These are simple steps to get back your account.
