Facebook Lockout Prevention




Who amongst us has never forgotten their passwords, not to mention the frequency of friends that get locked out of their own accounts?

As it pertains to Facebook, there’s actually something you can do preemptively to help you get back into your account if you ever get locked out.

The ability to recover your account through a group of pre-designated trusted contacts was introduced by Facebook some time back and it’s something worth thinking about setting up.

The process requires you to select three to five of your trusted friends that can help you regain control of your profile if you need them.

In the event you get locked out, you can have Facebook send a security code to the friends that you pre-selected that they send to you.

By requiring 3 different codes, Facebook eliminated the possibility of any one friend having the keys to your kingdom.

No more dealing with trying to convince someone that you are who you say you are.
