Well, it may be to confirm your log-in. Facebook shows you vague location of your account holder, but does not reveal your identity. This confirmation code spam is a sign of phishing and scams. Here is how to recover your confirmation code from Facebook. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Login_approvals\"><\/span>Login approvals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To avoid getting banned from Facebook, make sure you have at least one authorized login. That may be your home computer, but make sure you only set this as an authorized login. Also, be sure to check the email and mobile phone number that you&#8217;re using to verify your account. In some cases, you may receive a text with a Facebook confirmation code, but it is not sent.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, if you&#8217;ve recently registered for Facebook, you&#8217;ve probably received a text with a confirmation code. These messages are normally sent to the mobile number you registered with. They are sent by Facebook&#8217;s bot software. These messages aren&#8217;t intended for you. They are intended to alert you to an account reset, and should not be ignored. You&#8217;ll also want to block any Facebook notifications unless you really want to be bothered by them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phishing\"><\/span>Phishing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, Facebook sends you a text message with a confirmation code to verify that you&#8217;ve received it. This is because the system requires you to enter a valid phone number, and if you have accidentally entered the wrong number, the code will never arrive. Try rechecking your phone number or requesting a resend. If you&#8217;ve not received the code, contact Facebook support via email or phone to get a resend code.<\/p>\n<p>This message is most likely a phishing scam. The scammers send these messages to get your personal information, such as your email and password. If you click on the link, they&#8217;ll steal your password and open your Facebook account. You&#8217;ll probably be redirected to a fake website that asks you to enter your current password or choose a new one. This website will then use your current password to access your Facebook account. Do not click on any link, call the number, or enter your password in the form on any phishing scam text.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scams\"><\/span>Scams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have opened an account with Facebook and then received a text message containing a Facebook confirmation code, you are probably a victim of SMS spam. This type of message is unsolicited and is either a marketing or information text, or a phishing attempt. If you have received a text message containing a Facebook confirmation code, you need to check it carefully to make sure it is genuine. If the message appears to be legitimate, it&#8217;s probably a phishing attempt.<\/p>\n<p>This message is often sent by a phishing attempt &#8211; an attempt to access your Facebook account through a fake website. A fake website may look like Facebook, but instead of asking you to change your password, it will steal your current one and use it to open your account. As soon as you see this message, don&#8217;t do anything, click on any link or call the number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recovering_a_Facebook_confirmation_code\"><\/span>Recovering a Facebook confirmation code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For those who have lost their Facebook password, recovering it requires a confirmation code. You need to have your email address and phone number on hand to complete the recovery process. You should enter the phone number without the country code, if you are a US user. You can also use your Facebook username instead of a phone number. If you have an email address that is no longer valid, you will need to reset it.<\/p>\n<p>To retrieve your security code, follow the steps below. First, sign up for a new Facebook account using your email address. After you do, go to your email account and check your inbox. If you did not receive an email, try contacting customer service and ask them to send you a new code. Sometimes, the problem could be related to your email address, so be sure to double-check the details.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x1O-Gs2-DMU\" height=\"216\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"386\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Am I Getting a Text With a Facebook Confirmation Code?
