Recover Facebook Without Email or Phone Number

Posted on 10/11/26 09:05 am

Without your email or phone, find your account at facebook.com/login/identify, choose the option for when you no longer have access, then verify your ID.

Step 1: find the account

  1. Go to facebook.com/login/identify on a browser.
  2. Search by your name, username, or any old email or number you might have used.
  3. Pick your profile from the results.

Searching from a phone or computer you used with Facebook before often helps, because Facebook may recognise the device.

Step 2: when no recovery option works

Choose No longer have access to these? or a similar link. Facebook may ask for:

  • A new email address or number to contact you.
  • A photo of an ID with your name.
  • A short video selfie turning your head.
  • Answers about your account.

Not every account sees every option. If the link does not appear, try from a device and location you used before.

Using a device that is still signed in

If any phone, tablet or computer is still logged in to Facebook, use it to add a new email or number in Accounts Center. This is the fastest fix.

Hacked accounts

If someone changed your email and number, go to facebook.com/hacked. Facebook may send a link to the old email that lets you undo the change.

Avoid recovery scams

Accounts on X, Instagram or Telegram offering to recover Facebook pages for a fee are scams. They often ask for money first and disappear. Use only Facebook's own pages.

Next time

Once you are back in, add a current email and number, save recovery codes, and turn on two-factor authentication with an app. See Facebook recovery after losing your number.

How long recovery takes

Identity reviews can take a few days. Facebook replies by the new email or number you gave. Avoid starting several requests at once; one complete request is reviewed faster than many partial ones.
