Forgetting your Facebook ID is the same thing as forgetting your Facebook login credentials.

A Facebook ID is a sequence of numbers linked or connected to your Facebook account.

How To Recover Your Lost Facebook Password | Fb ID Recovery

Personally I make use of a personal device, so I don’t have to logout anytime from my Facebook account when I am not making use of it. However, if you are making use of a shared device or a public device, it is very important that you log out from that device as this may save your account from hack and unauthorized access by other users.

I remember vividly well when I lost my device and had to log in to my Facebook account via a public system. Later I got a personal device, but couldn’t log in due to the fact that I lost my password. And without my password I got locked out of my own Facebook account. With this I couldn’t get access to my ID. I had to look out for ways to recover my lost password. Luckily for me, Facebook has had a directory in place to help users recover their lost passwords and login credentials. If you are in this sort of situation at the moment, you have nothing to worry about as you are in safe hands.

To recover your Facebook account successfully, follow the steps below;

1. Go to Facebook on your device.
2. Click on the ‘forgot password’ option at the bottom right corner of the login page on Facebook.
3. On the recovery page, enter your email address, username or phone number in the fields and click on the search tab.
