Have you forgotten your Facebook password? Has your account been hacked? Did you join the #LeaveFacebook in the past and now want to go back to the fold?
RelatedDepending on each case, there are options to return your account to life.It is not always easy to recover the previous Facebook, but in this article we will detail all the available options.It is because it is not possible to reset the password, because you have deactivated the account temporarily or because you have suffered an attack, these are the possibilities.Just let us make it clear that, if you have completely deleted the account, there is no turning back .
Recover Facebook after deactivation
If we need to disconnect from Facebook, the social network gives us two options.A drastic that consists in the permanent deletion of the account.It is likely that, if we want to recover the account within a few hours of having deleted it, Facebook will still leave us do it.But in a few days the account is no longer available forever.The other, less drastic, is temporary deactivation.
Once the time has elapsed, the temporary deactivation of the account has an easy solution.To recover Facebook in this case, you just have to log in again on the platform or use the Facebook account to log in to a third site (which we have linked to the service).It must be borne in mind that, to complete the reactivation, you must always have access to the email or mobile number used previously to make log in .
Recover a forgotten password
If we remember the email or the phone number with which we are registered, but not the password, recovering the previous Facebook also has a solution.In this case, by clicking on `` Have you forgotten the account data?' or by going directly to the 'Recover your account' page.We will have to provide at least one of the following information: email, mobile number, full name or username associated with the account.
After entering that information, you must click on 'Search' and follow the instructions.It is usual to send a security code to the email or associated phone.After re-entering that code in The platform will allow us to write a new password.Note for the future: use a secure password that we can remember or use a password manager.
No password, no email , no phone number
Better go pressing the panic button.When we talk about recovering a previous Facebook, it is possible that, if it has been too long, we do not even remember the email or the phone number with which we open the account in the past.Before this complex situation, Facebook gives us different options.
Login with an alternative email or phone number
During the registration process on Facebook there is the possibility of saving an alternative email address or a second telephone number.If this has been the case, there will be to return to the page 'Recover your account' and try some of the data that, we believe, may be registered.If so, Facebook will give us some access to the account through a security code, enough to reset the password again.
Recover email account
Another problem can come from the fact that, although we remember the address of email , we do not have access to it.This way, we cannot consult the security code that Facebook sends to reset the password.In this case, you must follow the advice of each email provider to regain access to the account.
Login with the mobile phone number
Since Facebook is app mobile, the platform has insistently requested its users who link their account with a telephone number.In the case that we do not remember the address of email , having a registered number makes it easier to recover the previous Facebook.If we still have difficulties, Facebook offers These suggestions for logging in with the phone number.
Test with trusted contacts
Among the various security options that Facebook allows is to establish trusted contacts.Through the 'Recover your account' page, the platform allows to enter registered third-party email addresses as trusted contacts.After selecting one, the platform will create a link that can only be opened by a certain contact.We will have to send that link to the trusted person and they will have to follow the instructions to recover our account.
And if the account has been hacked?
This is also a fairly common case.If the account has been hacked, Facebook cannot be recovered in the previous ways .The first step will be to report that the account has been compromised on this link.After reviewing the information, Facebook will contact the user to request a password change and review the recent activity of the account.
Thus, recovering the previous Facebook is possible in all cases that we have reviewed, either because we do not remember the password, the email with which we had registered, because the account has been compromised or because we had temporarily suspended it.The only thing that has no turning back is to eliminate it completely.But there are studies that ensure that whoever does it is happier (and less informed).
