    Thanks Leo. I have already received 5 emails with a code in 3 consecutive days now and its alarming. I changed my password and turned on two factor verification. I dont know if its still "accidental" or somebody is really trying to access my account.

    I would note that there is a link at the bottom "Didn't request this - let us know" that directs to facebook. The URL appears to be legit.

    Thank you Leo its clear now because my account was just hack yesterday my first time after 2 decades of using FB. But after I have recover my account change the password. I;m piss off by this email that I have send a request to change my password, acually I am not inputing the code on the email. But instead I'm clicking the try another one. But I keep on changing my passwrod already 5 times thinking its being hack again. Now I know its phishing or missleading to force me to input that code which I didn't request. So just ignore it if I have already change my passwrod am I right?

    So I added another email on my account taking your advice, the next day I get the same email to both my accounts making me overthink if this email is real or fake, basically every day someone is supposedly trying to log into my account, not sure what to do. Also I have not clicked on anything else besides the “let us know” which still concerns me sometimes

      Most important is to confirm that any links in the email ACTUALLY GO TO FACEBOOK. Hover over them and confirm the URLs that are displayed.

    Leo, please help me with this question if you get a chance : I know for a fact nobody has a similar email to mine as it is a very weird one. Does this mean that whoever is trying to reset my password knows what my email is?

    • @askleonotenboom
      @askleonotenboom  Рік тому

      There's no way to know for sure. I mean, obviously they "know" it, because they're typing it in, but whether it's because they're targeting you, or it's just a random coincidence, I can't say. I will say that what we often think of as "very weird" isn't as weird as we think.

    I received an email saying we received a request to reset your password. I didn't request it. I then press "let us know" and I press "okay" after reading the next message. It then goes to my Facebook page, and I see that someone has logged into my account, and this is after I changed my password. After this, I changed to two factor identification. Can you tell me how someone can log into my account even though I changed the password?

The next day or a few days later, I get an email about a password reset. Am I giving that person access when I hit "let us know"?
