I've been locked out of my work Facebook account. Facebook tells me to refresh the page this morning then locks me out for suspicious activity? This whole thing was your idea.

Now it wants a video selfie, but the work profile just has a stock image as the profile picture. I've been able to satisfy the prompts with an AI image to 3D model program. Now to see if it lets me back in.

Such a terrible program. How does anyone keep using that site?

I’m surprised the photo/video thing has worked for you. I tried for an old account 6 years ago. Still waiting lol

They tried to pull that shit on me for an old personal instagram account and I let it slide. I got an email a while ago being like 'It's not too late to recover your account'. That was their decision, they're the ones that locked me out.

I don't know why anyone is still using FB , it's such a dubious site

It's the last hold I have on many people, and I don't have many people

It's still so popular and I don't understand it. It's shit built upon shit and it's getting worse with all the AI stuff they're heaping in there. My girlfriend will just sit there flicking through reels and I just don't get the appeal.
