With all the hacks out there, including stolen passwords, getting locked out of Facebook is almost inevitable. Fortunately Facebook has a way to get back in through trusted contacts.

Some people think it’s needlessly complex, but this guide as well as this one are excellent walk-through.  Even if it isn’t 100% effective, every Facebook user should set it up.

To prevent getting locked out in the first place, always set up a unique password for Facebook. It’s hard to create and track all these passwords, that’s why we recommend password managers.  One password to track them all.  We also suggest setting up two-factor authentication.  That means if someone has your password, they can’t get into your account without your mobile phone.  Give us a call, send us a text, or drop us an email.  We can help you with all of that!
