I have had this account since 2018 and only reason its acting up is i just came back from my trip and now it wont let me open it. Yes it is connected to my email but the last step before i access it is it sends a code to my old number which i don't have access to anymore, i tried to change to my old number again but its not possible, what do i do?

You should contact the platform's support team and explain that you still have access to your email but no longer have access to the old phone number.
 
I've seen this happen many times. I once lost access to my old phone number and struggled for a week to recover my account. Try waiting 24 to 48 hours, then use your old device again. Avoid requesting verification codes repeatedly, as Facebook may restrict your account.
 
do you still have access to the email?
pls try to verify with another way, besides phone number to see if it works.
 
try going through Facebook's account recovery page and choose the option that says you no longer have access to that number. since your email is still connected, you might be able to verify your identity another way. also check if you're still logged in on any old device, that could make things easier tbh.
 
i think you can try to get code to your email, pls try another way when you log in and FB requires code to phone number.

Recovering an account can be very difficult; you might want to seek out a specialized team with the right expertise to assist you in getting it reopened.
 
Try account recovery and select "I no longer have access to this number". You can also contact Meta support for identity verification.

Try going through the recovery process of ur facebook account using the same device and browser where you have accessed it before it might ask for your identity verification.
 
Is your Facebook account linked to an email address? You could try recovering your Facebook account using that email.
 
Does your account have an email address linked to it? Sending the verification code to your email would be easier.
 
In my opinion, you should go to the Facebook account recovery page, select "No longer using old phone number," and try verifying with email. Also, check if you are still logged into your account on any old devices to make it easier to regain access.
 
Is there an option to verify via email? If not, you might need to contact support or try messaging Meta AI, there could be a way to re-verify using your email. Or try using the link fb.com/hacked.

As long as your email is still connected you could try recovering the account via Facebook's password recovery process using an older browser and computer that you ve used previously. Travel may cause additional security measures to be put into place so dont repeatedly attempt to log in.
 
You still have access to your email. I'd suggest trying the FB account recovery process from a device or browser you have used before. Look for an option like Try another way or I don't have access to this number, don't create a new account until you have tried all of your recovery options.

perhaps attempt to restore access using the same device nd Wi-Fi as before the journey. facebook may identify familiar login credentialls.additionally, look into whether u are able to validate urself via the associated email address on the account.
 
Do you still own that old phone number? If you no longer have access to it, you won't be able to recover your account. It would be faster to just create a new account.
