Short answer

To find a Facebook account without your email or phone, go to facebook.com/login/identify and search by your name or username, or ask a friend to open your profile and copy the link. Then try recovery from a phone or browser you used before, which may offer more options. If no option works, Facebook may not be able to verify you.

Summary
  • Search by name or username on the Find your account page.
  • A friend can send you your profile link.
  • Use a device you logged in on before.
  • Old emails or numbers may still receive codes.
  • Never pay 'Facebook support' numbers.

Recognised deviceLogged in there before

#What if nothing works?

Facebook may not be able to confirm the account is yours. Get advice before trying many times, because repeated attempts can trigger temporary blocks.

#What common mistakes should I avoid?

  • Trying recovery dozens of times in a day.
  • Calling fake Facebook support numbers.
  • Creating a new account too soon.
  • Ignoring your old email's own recovery.

#When should I ask an expert before I act?

Ask for help before you appeal if the account matters to your income, your business or your memories, if you have already had one appeal rejected, or if you cannot tell whether the problem is a bug, a restriction or a hack. That is where most avoidable losses happen.
