    If you’ve turned on two-factor authentication, you can get 10 recovery login codes to use when you’re unable to use your phone. Once you have your recovery codes, you can use one in place of your authenticator code when logging in. If you cannot access your two-factor authentication (2FA) codes for Facebook, you can still recover your account by using alternative recovery options or by submitting a government-issued ID for manual verification.

    Steps to recover your Facebook account without 2FA codes:
    1. Initiate Account Recovery:
    Go to the Facebook login page and click on “Forgot account?”.
    2. Identify Your Account:
    Enter your email address or phone number associated with your Facebook account to find it.
    3. Choose “No longer have access to these?”:
    If you don’t have access to the phone number or email associated with your account, select this option.
    4. Alternative Recovery Options:
    Trusted Contacts: If you’ve previously set up trusted contacts, you can use them to help regain access.

    Government ID Verification: If other options are unavailable, you will likely need to submit a photo of a government-issued ID (like a passport, driver’s license, or national ID card) to verify your identity. Ensure the ID is clear, readable, and the details match your Facebook account information.
    5. Contact Information:
    You may be asked to provide a new, accessible email address or phone number for Facebook to communicate with you regarding the recovery process.
    6. Await Confirmation:
    Facebook will review your submission and, if verified, will send you instructions or a link to regain access to your account via the provided contact method.
    7. Disable 2FA (Optional):
    Once you regain access, you can turn off or reconfigure your two-factor authentication settings within your account’s security settings.
