How do I recover my Facebook account if my email was hacked too?

Diane asks:

Both my Facebook and the associated Yahoo account have been hacked and I can’t get into either. I phoned Yahoo and they were no help because I couldn’t answer one security answer (that I don’t remember providing)/ I can’t get into Facebook because it will only send new passwords to my hacked Yahoo account. What can I do?

If you associated your phone with your FB or Yahoo account probably can get some reset code sent to it and recover the account, that’s why is important to provide alternate e-mail addresses /phone/security questions for recovery.

Facebook sometimes lets you to select some of your friends from your account, and sends them a code. You can then enter the code to recover.

I you are unable to log in to your Facebook account, click the Forgot your password? link located on the Facebook home page. Follow the steps to identify your account.

If you have access to any of the emails listed on your account, you can request that a new password be sent to these emails.

If you don’t have access to any of the email addresses linked to your account, click the No longer have access to these? link under the list of email addresses. Follow the directions provided to answer your security question and regain access to your account.

It’s case that the hacker has removed much of your information to make your account non-recoverable.You can hope that reporting to Facebook can be little helpful -

susendeep dutta

Looking into the scenario of your account getting hacked,you must use a password manager software like Lastpass and allow it to generate and save strong passwords,so that it’ll release any burden for remembering it and your account would remain secure.

Try reporting your account to Facebook to get it back -

i was opening account on face book,,but i cant open because they are telling me that my email was taken,what should i do.i want to join facebook community??????????????

susendeep dutta

It seems that you had for long time not accessed your created account for a while,so it has been deleted and given to other.

So,in order to join Facebook,you need to create a new account and you have to log in regularly to maintain it in active state.

susendeep dutta

I can understand when someone unrest you.

Well,all you have to do is that block that particular person and then,it won’t be able to communicate with you.Then,if you reset your password to stronger one,then it would be very difficult for that person to hack your account.You can also beef up security of your account by enabling https session,two factor authentication.
