We want to make sure that you're the only person with access to your account. If you think your account was hacked, or taken over by someone else, we can help you secure it.

Your account may have been hacked if you notice:

• Your email or password has been changed
• Your name or birthday has been changed
• Friend requests have been sent to people you don't know
• Messages have been sent that you didn't write
• Posts have been made that you didn't create

You can also review these tools and tips to help keep your account safe.

If an account you created is still on Facebook, we can help you find it. You'll need to know an email address, a phone number or the username associated with your account. You may also be able to find the account using your name and the name of someone you're friends with on Facebook.

Once you find the account, you can reset your password. You can then continue using your account or delete it.

Still having trouble? Check out these related topics:

• I'm not receiving the email to reset my password.
• I can’t reset my password because I can't access the email address listed on my account.
• I can't reset my password because I've reached a password reset limit.

When you create a new password, make sure that it's at least 6 characters long. Try to use a complex combination of numbers, letters and punctuation marks.

If you see a message letting you know the password you entered isn't strong enough, try mixing together uppercase and lowercase letters or making the password longer.

The password you create should be easy for you to remember but hard for someone else to figure out. For extra security, your Facebook password should be different than the passwords you use to log into other accounts, like your email or bank account.
