Why Do You Need to Recover Facebook Account Without a Phone Number?

As you know, Facebook lets you open an account using your phone number or email address. Once your account is there, you can add other personal information.

In case you’ve created the account using the email account and didn’t add the phone number later either, you won’t be able to recover the account using the phone number.

Also, it might be possible that you did add a number but don’t have access to that phone number anymore.

Another possible scenario is when you’re traveling abroad. If the international roaming feature is turned off, you’ll be unable to use it to receive the code from Facebook for account recovery.

How to Recover Facebook Account Without a Phone Number

To apply this method, you must have got an email address attached to your account. Even if you’ve opened your account with a phone number, you should’ve added it to your account later.

Since you’re attempting to recover your Facebook account, you must’ve been logged out of Facebook. For recovery, perform these steps:

  • Go to facebook.com.

Click the Forgotten Password link on Facebook log in or sign up page

Recover Facebook Without Phone Number: FAQs

Where Do I Find My 6-Digit Code for Facebook?

Your Facebook account recovery code should come to your phone or email, depending on the method you choose during the recovery process.

While receiving the code through text is straightforward, you may not receive the code in your Inbox when chosen to get the code via email.

In that case, check your spam or junk email folder. Sometimes, such emails fail to reach your Inbox and end up in the Spam folder.

How Can I Recover My FB Password Without Code?

If you can’t access the email or phone associated with your Facebook, you won’t be able to get the code.

In such cases, you need to submit any of your government IDs, such as a driving license, birth certificate, and passport, to verify your identity.

After the verification, Facebook will let you access the account by allowing you to create a password.

Conclusion

For many of us, Facebook is the only way to stay connected with our family and friends. Losing your access to your Facebook account could mean losing all connections with them.

Even if you don’t have access to your phone, you can still recover your Facebook account.

Go through the steps mentioned above, and you’ll know how to recover Facebook account without a phone number.
