Reset Facebook password without email and phone number
If you forget your email, it can happen, but the phone number, Lucid Gen thinks you have more problems not receiving the Facebook password reset code. Rarely does anyone lose such important information with their Facebook account. Fortunately, Mr. Zuckerberg (Founder of Facebook) has added a way to reset Facebook password without email and phone number or through trusted friends. So let’s see the conditions and implementation of this way.
Condition
The condition for you to reset Facebook password without email and phone number is that your account has added at least 3 friends to the list of trusted friends.
If you haven’t forgotten your Facebook password, log into Facebook > Settings > Security and log in to add 3 to 5 friends to your trusted friends list. Later, when you lose your phone number and email, you can ask these friends to help you recover your Facebook password.
But the problem here is what if you haven’t added trusted friends but forgot your Facebook password? From Lucid Gen’s point of view, don’t lose your phone number and email to follow other instructions.
Perform
Assuming you added 3 to 5 trusted friends to your Facebook account before you forgot your password, follow this guide to reset your Facebook password without email and phone number.
Step 1: Try to access the Facebook login page and click Forgot Password or use this link quickly.
Step 2: You enter the phone number or email registered for your Facebook account to find your account.
Step 3: You select “No longer access”. The above options are for you to reset Facebook password with phone number and email.

Step 6: Copy the link https://www.facebook.com/recover and send it to your friends by a certain channel and ask them to access this link to get the Facebook password reset code and send it to you. I have written instructions on how to ask friends for help below.
After you have enough Facebook password reset code, please enter from the top down in the order of friends from left to right and then click Continue to go to the step to reset Facebook password.
Step 7: Experiencing many difficulties, you have reached the page to retrieve your Facebook password. Please enter a new password for your Facebook.

How to protect your Facebook account
- Do not allow access by unauthorized 3rd parties.
If you often use game apps on Facebook, go to Settings > Business apps to remove apps you no longer use. Or if you find any untrusted apps, please uninstall them. - Add 3 to 5 trusted friends to your account.
As Lucid Gen shared in the article, how to reset Facebook password without email and phone number requires that you have added 3 to 5 trusted friends in Facebook’s security settings. Right now if you still have a Facebook account, do this soon. - Do not save passwords in the browser.
Saving passwords on the browser has the advantage that each time you log in, it will save you the time of typing. But you should only save the accounts that are not important. Because when someone borrows your computer, they can easily see your Facebook password through the saved password view in the browser. Another case is that if your computer is infected with viruses, they also have the ability to attack your browser to steal information. - Don’t sign in to sites that look like Facebook but aren’t Facebook.com.
You should not access the “links” shared by clone accounts on Facebook. They often contain malicious code that will either impersonate Facebook’s interface and ask you to log in to continue viewing. If you log into real Facebook, they will hack your Facebook too. - Protect the phone number and Gmail you used to sign up for Facebook.
If you use a new phone number, update your Facebook account right away. For Gmail, turn on 2-step verification. With these two things, you can easily retrieve your Facebook password. - Enable 2-factor authentication for your Facebook.
All social media accounts including Facebook have this feature. If you’re worried about Facebook, don’t forget to enable Two factor authentication Instagram too. These two social networks are linked to each other. - Do not share or consider sharing your Facebook password with others.
If it’s your own personal account, don’t share it with your lover, I find the ending of this is often not beautiful. As for doing business, each person has their own style, many people use personal accounts to do business more effectively than fanpage, if forced to share Facebook accounts with members of the business group, then choose to send gold. - Do not use strange extensions on the browser.
Using browser utilities helps us improve our productivity a lot, but you should only install utilities with reputable names, such as Grammarly Premium, Google Translate, etc. Facebook tool, be careful, change your password more often (Lucid Gen’s Facebook tool utilities are safe, hihi). - Do not make friends of unknown background on Facebook.
If you see a stranger making friends, check if their profile is trustworthy and check your messages and wait to see if they have any messages (because customers ask for a purchase, they often send friends). If you don’t know them and they don’t text you, don’t accept them as friends. It could be a clone account that wants to follow you for a while to get more information about you before hacking your account. - Choose only me mode when saving your phone number or email to your Facebook account information.
When adding a new phone number or email to your Facebook account information, please select “Only me” mode if available. These are 2 things to help you recover your Facebook password, you should not make them public.
