Question

If I have someone's Facebook password, will they still be able to access their account?

Community Answer

They might remain logged in on their devices for a period. However, if you change the password, they will be unable to regain access if they log out.

Question

How do I know someone's Facebook email address?

Anthroposia

Community Answer

You don't need to know their email. Their Facebook username or ID should be enough to do the job. You can find out their username or ID when you go on their profile and check the link, there should be their username and ID (some numbers).

Question

If I have access to a computer where a user is already logged into a profile, how might I obtain their password?

Community Answer

You could consider installing a keylogger on the computer and waiting for the user to log in again. Alternatively, you might investigate techniques such as password sniffing, configuring SSLstrips, or bypassing HSTS.

Question

What is the punishment for breaking into a Facebook account?

Community Answer

Most of the time, you will get banned permanently or for a certain period of time but nothing too serious. That said, if you break into it and use it for illegal purposes. Facebook may not be the only ones getting involved.

Question

If I reset someone's Facebook password, can they still use their account?

Luke Erickson

Community Answer

If you reset a Facebook password, the account holder will immediately receive an email notification containing instructions to regain access. Unless they rarely check their email, they will likely be able to recover their account quickly.

Question

I forgot my Facebook password, but my account is still logged in on my phone. How can I regain access to my account?

Community Answer

If you have a linked email address, go to Facebook's login page on a different browser or device and click "Forgot Password." Facebook will then send a verification code to your email, allowing you to reset your password and regain access to your account.

Question

Do I need three mutual friends?

Community Answer

No, not necessarily. You can create three fake accounts, add the individual, and hope they accept your requests. Otherwise, three genuine mutual friends are required.

Question

What should I do if I didn't choose any trusted contacts before my account was hacked?

Luke Erickson

Community Answer

If your account was hacked, go to your email account and look for "Facebook Password Reset." If you can't find it in the first page, search for it (most emails have a search option). There will be a button or a link in the message saying "I didn't change my password" or something along those lines. Click that, and you will be able to get back into your account through there.

Question

Facebook is asking me for a code. What should I do?

Community Answer

The code is usually sent to your registered phone number via text or to your email address. Enter the code you receive to continue the process. If you do not receive the code or cannot access it, you will not be able to proceed with this verification step.

Question

How can I access someone's Facebook password if their account was previously logged into my phone but is now logged out?

Community Answer

You should follow the steps outlined in the article. A previous login on your phone does not grant you special access to their account, nor does it make retrieving their password any easier.
