Locked out of Facebook by two-factor authentication?
Two-factor protects the account but can lock the owner out when the device changes.
If you lost the phone or app that gives you the two-factor code, look for recovery codes saved earlier, a trusted device that is still logged in, or a backup method. Try the official recovery from a device you used before. If nothing works, gather your ID and send us the message so we can prepare the steps.
Check trusted devices
A logged-in phone or laptop can approve.
Use a known device
Try the flow from a device Facebook knows.
What is at risk
- A new phone with no authenticator app.
- A lost SIM for text codes.
- A browser that does not remember you.
- Recovery codes never saved.
What to gather
- Check email and notes for saved recovery codes.
- Look for any logged-in device.
- Try recovery from a device and place you used before.
- Send us the message if the flow loops.
What to send
- Your Facebook profile link or the name on the profile.
- A screenshot of the message or error, with the date visible.
- Which email address or phone number is on the account (just which one, never a code).
- What happened before it started, in a few lines.
Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
How it works with Unbanz
- Message us on WhatsApp or email with your Facebook profile link and what happened to the account.
- We tell you honestly whether this is something we can help with.
- We prepare the recovery request and the supporting details for Facebook’s official process.
- We stay in touch while you wait. Meta makes the final decision, and nobody can promise the outcome.
Who this is for
- Users who changed phone.
- Accounts with a lost authenticator.
- Owners whose SIM was replaced.
Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.
Questions people also ask (2026)
Disabled and no option to send ID?
Meta often asks for a video selfie instead of a document, or shows no upload at all. Record the selfie once, in good light, with no filters or glasses. If no option appears, screenshot the screen with the date. Sending repeated requests does not help.
What if I no longer have the email or phone on the account?
Start from facebook.com/login/identify or the Instagram “Forgot password” screen on a phone or computer you have logged in from before. Meta may offer other options there, such as a code to a different contact, a video selfie or an ID photo. Which options appear depends on the account.
Does a recognised device help?
Often, yes. Meta may trust a phone, browser or network you have used to log in before, so try recovery from that device and connection rather than a new one.

Updated November 2026
For a takeover, start at instagram.com/hacked or facebook.com/hacked from a device you used before. If the hacker changed the email, Meta’s flow lets you choose that you no longer have access and verify another way. After you are back, check Accounts Center for unknown logins and connected accounts, and turn on two-factor authentication. See Facebook hacked and email changed.
The hacker changed my email and phone. Can I still recover it?
Often yes, through the hacked page and identity checks such as a video selfie. Use a device and network you used before.
What to send us
- The username or profile link.
- A screenshot of the exact notice, with the date visible.
- Whether you already appealed, and what Meta replied.
- Whether you still have the email and phone number on the account.
- Never your password or login codes.
Send it on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Can I turn two-factor off without logging in?
No. You need to get into the account first.
Should I turn two-factor on afterwards?
Yes, and save the recovery codes.
What if a hacker enabled it?
Use the hacked-account route.
Do I need to share my Facebook password?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from your public username, the notice and the details you send. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz about Facebook account recovery?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
