WTF, Facebook?

[ILikeSloths]

I just tried to log into Facebook from my laptop, the same computer and location I always use. It denied me access saying I'm attempting to log into my account from a different location.

Now my Facebook account is temporarily locked.

First it had me type in random letters and numbers (captcha) to confirm I'm not spam or whatever. Then it said I needed to verify my identity by identifying friends or answering a security question.

It also sent me an email:
Dear ILikeSloths,
Your Facebook account was recently logged into from a computer, mobile device or other location you've never used before. For your protection, we've temporarily locked your account until you can review this activity and make sure no one is using your account without your permission.

Anyway, I answered the security question (thank goodness I remembered the answer because it was totally random), and it let me back in. But...that's so weird!

Facebook has major issues.

It asked me who my first grade teacher was.









It took me a few minutes to think about it. I don't ever remember choosing that question or answering it before, but it worked.

[blondemoment123]

Mine has done that before, but I'm normally logged in from my phone.

I have no idea who my first grade teacher is lol.

[ILikeSloths]

Hhmm... I wonder why it chose us to pick on, Blonde. Haha.



The sad thing is I started to freak out when I couldn't access my FB account. I might need rehab.

my fb chat kept going unavailable tonight a lot. So I basically said fuck it to facebook for the night.

That happened to mine when it got hacked once. Change your password right away. And check some of your friends walls to see if you sent anyone spam (like "see whos been viewing your page"), that was the real way I knew.

[ILikeSloths]

Oh, no! I hope I wasn't hacked. I haven't had any issues since that incident and have been able to log in with no problems today.

Thanks for letting me know, Wine. I'll change my password just in case.
