Facebook Confirmation Code: What It Is and How to Get It

A Facebook confirmation code is a code sent by text or email to confirm your new account, a new number or email, or a sign-in. Here is where to find it.

When Facebook sends one

• Creating an account.
• Adding or changing your phone or email.
• Signing in from a new device.

Where to find it

1. Texts from Facebook (in the US, often from 32665).
2. Your email, including spam.
3. A notification on another device where you are signed in.

If it does not come

• Check the number or email on the account for typos.
• Ask for a new code once; use only the newest.
• Choose email if text fails.
• See Facebook code not received.

Never share it

Messages from "Facebook support" or a friend asking for your code are scams.

Codes after a password change

After a password change, Facebook may ask for a code on your other devices too. That is normal. If you did not change the password, use Facebook's hacked account help to secure the account straight away.
