Facebook has become one of the best social media websites in the world, and we can’t live without it, which is why it attracted people from all walks of life and hackers also. The hackers are trying their best to gain access to many social media accounts of regular users to sell their information online. 

If you are suspecting that your Facebook account is hacked, then you have to take solid steps to make sure you recover a hacked Facebook account. 

Today we will discuss along the lines of hacked Facebook account and how to secure it, so read on the complete article. 

Kind of hacks

Well, there can be different kinds of hacks for different people, but these are the most common ones. Generally, when your account is hacked, your password will be changed, and you won’t be able to access it anymore. Your email address changed by the hackers, or both of these things are changed. 

Well, these are the most common hacks we’ve seen over the years. You can recover from any of these hacks by using the steps listed here. 

• Go to the Facebook page and click on the Forgotten Account link to open the password reset option.

• Then, you have to enter your username or email address to fetch the account.

• Now, you need to select one of the options to recover the account and receive the verification code. If your email and phone number are also changed, then you have to follow the instructions listed in the next section.

• Go to your device and copy the verification code and enter it into the verification box and click on the Next button. 

• Now, you need to enter a new password for your account to regain access to it. 

If you don’t have access to both of these things, then you have to click on the ‘no longer have access to these’ link from the bottom, and you will be able to see the security question option. This only works if your account is pretty old on Facebook, as Facebook has stopped with the trick of Security Question.

If nothing is working for you, then you have to fill out a contact form listed by Facebook for recovering the account. Search for ‘Confirm your identity with Facebook’ page and then fill out the form.

You will have to provide on government-issued ID for them to recognize you as the authenticated user of the account. Then, you can send that to Facebook and wait for a couple of days after that. They will reply with the solution whether your account will be recovered or not.
