If your Facebook account has been compromised, here are some steps you can take to try and recover it:
### 1. **Check Your Email:**
* **Verify the hack:** Look for emails from Facebook that might indicate a login attempt from an unfamiliar location or device.
* **Reset password:** If you receive such an email, click the link provided to reset your password immediately.
### 2. **Access Facebook's Recovery Page:**
* **Go to the recovery page:** Visit Facebook's "Help with Login" page: [https://www.facebook.com/help/1573156092981768](https://www.facebook.com/help/1573156092981768)
* **Choose the appropriate option:** Select "I can't access my account" and follow the on-screen instructions.
### 3. **Provide Required Information:**
* **Account details:** You might be asked to provide information like your full name, email address, phone number, or previous passwords.
* **Security questions:** Answer any security questions you set up when creating the account.
### 4. **Choose a Recovery Method:**
* **Email or phone:** Facebook will offer options to receive a verification code via email or phone.
* **Security code:** If you have a security code generator app, you can use that to generate a code.
### 5. **Verify Your Identity:**
* **Enter the code:** Once you receive the verification code, enter it into the designated field.
* **Create a new password:** You'll be prompted to create a strong new password for your account.
### 6. **Secure Your Account:**
* **Enable two-factor authentication:** This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone or a security key to log in.
* **Review connected apps:** Check which apps have access to your Facebook account and remove any suspicious ones.
* **Be cautious of phishing attempts:** Be wary of emails or messages that ask for personal information, as they might be phishing scams.
If you're unable to recover your account through these steps, you might need to contact Facebook's support team directly for further assistance.
