    To regain access to your account, try logging in from a device you haven't used before. Then, navigate to the account settings to disable two-factor authentication. If you can't access your account, attempt to reset your password by selecting the "change password" option.

    If your Facebook account is hacked and you cannot receive recovery codes or access a trusted device, begin by visiting facebook.com/hacked on a laptop. Select 'My account is compromised' and follow the prompts to verify your identity using your name, an old password, or a photo ID. If these steps are unsuccessful or your device isn't recognized, refer to the Facebook Help Center for guidance on submitting an appeal or seeking further assistance.
