Use A Phone To Verify Your Account

Mark asks…

Facebook help cant login because of security thing…?

Ugh im so frustrated ok so i try to login into facebook i get this ‘ Please complete a security checkUse a phone to verify your account

The phone number you use can only verify one account. Once you enter your number, you’ll receive a code that you’ll be able to enter on Facebook to verify your account. Your phone number will only be used to verify your account and will not be shared with anyone without your consent.” and i dont have a mobile phone so i think u get my problem :P so is there anyway to contact facebook about this i looked and havent found anything does anyone know of anyway to contact them?

Ask a friend who has a mobile phone if you can type in his/her number and they’ll give you the code. You probably won’t need to do it more than once.

Jenny asks…

If you close your account on YouTube?….?

I was just wondering, if you close your account on Youtube and want to make another one with the same Email as the one you had closed, will it work, can you use the same account? Also, if it’s a google account, do you still need to verify it with the whole cell phone shit? I really hate that! But anyways, can you? Help?
urgent, help? being harassed big time!

admin answers:

I think when you completely delete your current account then go to make a new one with the same info it will work.

I had to do this with my Gmail account, I received one text with a number and I used that number to verify my account. Since then I have not recieved any texts or calls from Google or any other partners. You have nothing to worry about. I was a little hesitant at first too

admin answers:

Before – no
Now – yes.

Its good and its bad. Because I value my privacy I dont want to give out too much personal inforation online however its good for the fact of verification for your account status.. I think they are slowly forcing people to do it. The only work arounds I know of is if u can find a payfone and use that # and it will call and give you a verification code. Otherwise they can text it to whatever number you use, but that number will be on file so make sure you trust whoevers # it is cuz they can do a password recovery and get a new password sent to them and access your account.

Is it safe to verify my IMDB account by my mobile?

To be able to post on the message boards at imdb.com I have to verify my account. I don’t have a credit card or Amazon account so I’m left with the mobile option.

It says

Use SMS/Text messages to my cellular/mobile phone:

We will send an SMS text message to your cellular/mobile phone. Depending on your service plan this may or may not cost you money. Check your cell phone service plan for more details.

I’m not too worried about cost. I just want to know if it’s safe? Anyone had to do this? Thanks.
