Steps for recovering a hacked Facebook account
You must first understand that you will always be informed of any intrusions into Facebook accounts. Either Facebook will notify you of an unauthorized login attempt, or people you have connections with on other sites or channels will notify you of any odd activity or discussions emanating from your account. In order to recover hacked Facebook account what you to do is:
- Open the Facebook app on your device.
- Go to Settings and Privacy.
- Select Password and Security.
- From here you can simply change your password. But remember that you can only change your password, though, if you can remember your previous one.
- You may see a list of the devices you have logged into in the same "Password and Security" section. The next step is just selecting "Where You're Logged in" from a list. Your accounts on any devices or systems that you are aware of are fundamentally linked to unidentified sources, sources that you've never utilized, or both, should be deleted right away.
