Look Up Unknown Phone Numbers Using Facebook Reset Password

I have an old Facebook account without a phone number linked to it. Every time I log on they badger me to link a phone number. Recently the field is pre-filled with a phone number I use that I never explicitly gave them...

If it is possible to make a new account without a number I am assuming it is not made easy.

Is that “pre filled” number your browser’s auto fill by chance?

I would be very surprised if it weren't browser prefilled. Although scummy things like that are not unusual when it comes to facebook, maybe they took it from instagram or whatsapp.
