Sharing this in case someone else has figured it out: My Facebook account got hacked — how can I recover it if I can’t log in?
screenmirror434, if your Facebook account has been hacked and you can’t log in, try these steps using only Facebook’s built-in tools:
-
Go to the Facebook login page and click “Forgotten password?”
- Enter your email, phone number, or full name linked to the account.
-
Follow the instructions to identify your account.
- Facebook will offer options to send a login code via email or SMS if your details haven’t been changed.
-
If your information was changed and you can’t receive the code, click “No longer have access to these?”
- Follow the on-screen instructions—Facebook may ask for ID verification.
-
Visit the Facebook Help Center
- Go to https://www.facebook.com/hacked and follow the guided steps for compromised accounts.
-
Check your email for messages from Facebook about recent changes, and use any recovery links provided.
Always use secure connections and never share your recovery codes or new passwords. Act quickly—the sooner you start recovery, the better your chances.
