by

Whether it is two-factor authentication, a recent password reset or logging in from an unrecognized device or unknown location, you will need a confirmation code from Facebook. Having trouble receiving your confirmation code? Here in this article, we tell you how to get Facebook confirmation code.

So, no need to worry if you can’t access your account because you didn’t receive a confirmation code from Facebook. The following methods can help get your six digit confirmation code for Facebook and with it, access your account.

How to Get Facebook Confirmation Code

You can get a Facebook confirmation code in two ways: via a linked email or phone number. We listed common problems that prevent a user from receiving a confirmation code and how to solve the problem.

Incorrect email address

You choose to receive the confirmation code in your email. And yet, you are not getting confirmation code from Facebook.

How to get Facebook confirmation code in such a situation?

The first thing you need to do is to check your email address. Did you enter the address correctly or not? Entering an incorrect email address is quite common, so check yours to see if the address is correct.

Entering an incorrect email address? No problem. Here’s how to rectify your email address.

  1. Open your browser and go to https://web.facebook.com/confirmemail.php
  2. Click “Update contact info”.
  3. Enter the correct email address.

When you confirm your email address this way, Facebook will remove the incorrect email address and replace it with the correct one.

Mailbox filters

Another reason why you are not getting confirmation code from Facebook is mailbox filters. Facebook might have set you the confirmation code but you couldn’t find it because of your mailbox filters.

The email might have been considered spam, for example. So, check your other folders. See if the confirmation code is there.

Incorrect phone number

Alternatively, you can opt to receive the six digit confirmation code for Facebook on your phone. Of course, for that you will need to provide Facebook with a phone number that you have access to.

Like with the email address, it is possible that you don’t receive the confirmation code because you entered the wrong phone number.

To verify your phone number, open the link below on a browser.

https://web.facebook.com/confirmemail.php

And here’s the link to add or delete a phone number.

Resend the code

You have entered the right phone number and requested a confirmation code. Yet, you haven’t received any text message from Facebook.

If Facebook confirmation code text not received, request Facebook to resend the code to your number.

Here’s how.

  1. Go to https://web.facebook.com/confirmemail.php on a computer.
  2. Click “Didn’t receive the SMS?”
  3. Click “Send SMS Again”.

Receive a call

Another alternative if Facebook confirmation code text not received is by requesting a phone call.

Here’s how to get Facebook confirmation code via phone call.

  1. Go to https://web.facebook.com/confirmemail.php on a computer.
  2. Click “Didn’t receive the SMS?”
  3. Click “Call [your phone number]”.

Facebook will then call you and tell you the confirmation code via phone call.

Use an email address

If you have tried all the methods above and the code is still not sent to your number, you can opt to use an email address instead.

To switch from phone number to email address, follow the steps below.

  1. Go to https://web.facebook.com/confirmemail.php on a computer.
  2. Click “Wrong number?”
  3. Enter an email address that you have access to then click “Add”.

Now you can confirm with your email address instead of your phone number.

We recommend adding both an email address and phone number to your Facebook. Make sure you add an email address and phone number that only you can access.

This way, it will make things easier in case you lost access to your account, email address, or phone number.
