I ended up in the fun position of not being able to get into my Facebook account, and the only recovery options were 'text a number you haven't used in years, or ask this random selection of people you no longer have contact with to confirm you are you'.

It turned out logging into Spotify some how re-enabled my access - my only guess is because I had a Spotify account before they were under the Zuck umbrella it somehow grandfathered me in

Yep - I guess they are linked to Facebook, so getting into one unlocked the other one?

Didn't really make much sense, but I was very glad to get back into my account to chat to some old friends mid-pandemic

There is (or was) feature between online services including facebook, github and others where you could link your accounts for recovery purposes.
