Meta recent added the option to let users sign into their Facebook account using their Instagram profile and vice-versa. Before you begin, you need to make sure that your Accounts Centre has access to your Instagram and Facebook accounts, and that the two are linked together. Once that’s taken care of, go to Accounts Center>Logging in with accounts and select ‘Allow all accounts to log into each other’. Now you can log into your Facebook using your Instagram.

hi my facebook has been hacked and I’m trying to get it back with no prevail….the hackers have changed all my log in details
I am having the same problem! I can’t believe that Facebook does not have a solution for this or a way to contact them. Have you fixed it?
Thanks for this advice. Ive been madly searching for a resolution to my being locked out of Facebook – authenticator app on old phone and wasnt transferred to new phone. Although there are meant to be other ways to log in if I dont have code, FB isnt sending me notifications to my phone app, nor is the Code Generator working on the app. Even when I try and select another notification setting, I dont get the option of an SMS or email – which is completely contrary to all the Help pages Facebook provide. Effectively Im locked out of logging in – I am still logged in on my iPhone but if somehow I get logged out there just doesnt seem to be any way. The fact that in this day and age Facebook can have zero customer service to address glitches in their system is beyond me.
Hi Caroline, did you ever find a solution to this? I am currently stuck in this exact situation. I can’t seem to find any solution.
exact same thing, have been trying for 2 months to get in and now my account is marked as hacked so I can actually log in BUT once I am in it says my account has been locked for my protection and to log into a device that has logged in before but guess what, that doesn’t work. I have sent over a dozen letters, fedex docs etc to FB and I guess they are tossing them in the trash, crickets.
