I’m not sure if this is the right place for this question, but idk where else to ask.
Is there a way to log back into my account without giving FB my ID?
I have a Facebook account so that I can access links that require you to have a Facebook account. I don’t use it for anything else. I have no friends on it.
I had to factory reset my phone, and now I can’t log into my account without sending in some kind of id. It said I can log in from another device, but I get the same thing from every device.
I can live without FB. It just would be nice to be able to access links to it.
You’re better off avoiding everything that Meta owns: The fact that they make you send in an ID in the first place is insane!
That said, if you really want to keep giving these assholes all your personal info, you can totally photoshop your ID to obscure your actual info like address and whatnot but they’ll still accept it because they have no way of verifying your actual address.
Once you get back into your account, you should really think about deleting it completely though.
Eh, I’ve decided not to worry about it. Like I said, I only used it so that when people posted something somewhere that is linked to FB, I could see it. I figured I would try to get back into my account if it was possible to without giving them my id, but it doesn’t seem like it is so I won’t . It’s not that big of deal. I’ve always uninstalled Facebook from every phone I’ve bought, and only connected to it through a sandbox because I don’t like or trust Meta. It’s not a big loss.
Meta is cancer.
I agree. It’s just annoying when people link to stories or videos from it and you can’t access them unless you have an account. I guess I’ve just got FOMO, but I’ll just keep complaining every time someone does that. They’ll either stop doing it or block me.
