I would probably find myself in the same situation and locked out again.

The message was: "It looks like you're trying to make a change to your account from a device or location that you don't usually use."

Given I hadn't logged in since 2011, yes it would look like that.

Thanks, that sounds like the way to go.

I'll probably change most details except for my name and the fake DOB. The bars and downgrading the image should make it unusable as far as facial recognition and extracting more information.

from the ask-hn dept.

I have a Facebook account that I setup in 2011 and never used. I made one friend, which was my wife and then disabled the account. No posts, no photos, no likes, nothing.A few months ago I started receiving update notifications to the email account it was setup with that I've been ignoring. That was until I noticed I had received a suggestion to join a colon cancer support group a few weeks...
