Today, we want to talk about how to recover a hacked Facebook account. Facebook is one of the most popular and the most populated social media sites in recent times. As such, Facebook became a place for hackers to consider, and because of that, many people suffer from hacked or stolen accounts today. Of course, the stolen Facebook account is one of the worst things that can happen to us on Facebook, and we do not want to encounter such an unfortunate event. Before you find the answer, we want to show you what precautions you can take for your Facebook account before it’s hacked or stolen.
- You should turn off your email from being seen by others so that you can prevent other people from accessing your email.
- It would help if you made the email address password to which your Facebook account is linked a secure password and do not use only numbers.
- You should allow Facebook to define a phone number. So, if someone wants to hack your Facebook, you’ll be sent a verification code, and it’s hard to get the Facebook address without giving it to them.
- Keep your password long. Your password should contain not only letters but also numbers.
