Here’s how to login to your Facebook Account when you forget your Password and can’t get into your email account to reset it. Loosing access to your Facebook account might cause a whole lot of pain if you do not have access to connect with your friends and loved ones.This update will guide you through on how to get things done should in case such things happen.

If you’re locked out of your account, you can set up trusted contacts who can help you regain access to your account. so you can use any of them to request help from your trusted contacts. Here is how to go about it:

1. Click Forgot your password? on the login page.
2. If prompted to input any of your login details, then find your account by entering your email, phone, username or full name and click “Search”.
3. Look at the list of email addresses listed on your account. If you don’t have access to any of these, then just click No longer have access to these?
4. You can go ahead to create a new email address or simply enter a new email address or phone that you know you can access then click on Continue.
5. Next, click Reveal My Trusted Contacts and type the full name of one of your trusted contacts.
6. You’ll see a set of instructions that includes a URL. This URL contains a special security code that only your trusted contacts can access. Your trusted contacts are your unique or close friends you would have earlier added to your account.
7. Call your friends and give them the URL so that they can open the link and give the security code to you.
8. Use the security codes from your trusted contacts to access your account.

Please be sure to call your friends or talk to them in person when asking for the special security code. If your Facebook account was hacked, someone else could also have access to your email account.

After you set up a trusted contact, they’ll be able to send you special, one-time security codes from Facebook with a special URL. You can then contact your friends for this code to get help and regain access to your account.

Should in case you do not know how to add trusted contacts to your account on Facebook, here is how to get it done in less than two minutes.

1. Login to your Facebook Account
2. Go to your Security Settings at the top left gear if you are viewing your account on desktop view.
3. Click on the Trusted Contacts section
4. Click Choose Trusted Contacts
5. Choose 3-5 friends and confirm your choices.

Once you add up trusted friends, your friends would be notifed instantly that they’ve been added up as a trusted contact to you on Facebook.To edit or remove trusted contacts from your account, follow steps 1 through 3 and click Edit next to your trusted contacts.

Just as the keyword implies, “Trusted Contact”. Ensure that the friends you are adding are people you can really get in touch at the right time. I’d suggest friends who are nearest to you.Probably your family members, colleagues, room mates or a friend who is always on Facebook 24/7.

Hope this helps. Keep your account safe.
