Why can’t I recover my Facebook account?
Incorrect Contact Information
Two-Factor Authentication Issues: If you have two-factor authentication enabled and lose access to your authentication method (like your mobile app or text messages), you might find it difficult to log in. If you’ve set up trusted contacts, they can help you regain access.
Forgotten Login Details: Simply forgetting your account details, like your old password or even your Facebook username, is a common issue. Using the ‘forgot password’ feature on the Facebook login page can help, but only if you have access to your recovery email or phone number.
Hacked or Compromised Account
Disabled Accounts: Facebook may disable accounts that violate its terms of use.
Technical Issues: Sometimes, issues with your internet connection, browser profile, or even the Facebook server can prevent account recovery.
