How to Recover Your Facebook Account When You Cannot Get In

Start here

For a suspected hack, start at facebook.com/hacked on a device you have used to log in before. Follow Facebook's own recovery steps. ScreenDone can explain the screens, but cannot bypass account verification or guarantee recovery.

Before you start

  • Keep access to your account email or phone nearby, but do not share passwords or login codes with anyone.
  • Use only Facebook's official recovery pages. Avoid anyone who asks for a payment to bypass verification.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Use the official recovery route

    Open facebook.com/hacked on a previously used device and follow the prompts relevant to your account.

  2. 2

    Complete the checks privately

    Stop screen sharing before entering a password, verification code, or identity document.

  3. 3

    Follow the options Facebook provides

    Recovery options depend on the account. Read each prompt carefully rather than repeatedly changing devices or inventing information.

  4. 4

    Check your account after access returns

    Review the account's security settings before resuming normal use. Use the Help Center for anything you do not recognize.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Trusting unofficial recovery services.
  • Reading a login code out loud during a support session.
  • Treating an AI explanation as a promise that Facebook will restore access.

Looking at a different screen?

ScreenDone sees your shared screen and guides you out loud. You make the clicks. Stop sharing before entering passwords or private details.
