\nEarly in March, a bunch of Facebook users got a mysterious, spam-like email titled \u201cYour account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect\u201d and telling them that they were required to turn on the Facebook Protect feature (which they could do by hitting a link in the email) by a certain date, or they would be locked out of their account. <\/p>\n

The program, according to Facebook<\/a>, is a \u201csecurity program for groups of people that are more likely to be targeted by malicious hackers, such as human rights defenders, journalists, and government officials.\u201d It\u2019s meant to do things like ensure those accounts are monitored for hacking threats and that they are protected by two-factor authentication (2FA).<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the email that Facebook sent from the address security@facebookmail.com <\/em>resembled a rather common form of spam, and so it\u2019s probable that many people ignored it.<\/p>\n
\n<\/aside>\nIt actually wasn\u2019t spam. In fact, it was real. The first deadline to hit for many people was Thursday, March 17th. And now, they are locked out of their Facebook accounts \u2014 and are having trouble with the process that Facebook has provided to get them back in.<\/p>\n
Those who did not activate Facebook Protect before their deadline are apparently getting a message explaining why they can\u2019t get into their accounts and offering to help them turn it on. However, it\u2019s not always working:<\/p>\n\n\nI got locked out from Facebook  indefinitely today because I didn\u2019t respond to emails from FB (that looked like a scam) about its new Facebook Protect system, which I was required to enable by today. So far, the text and security key options don\u2019t work, many report. pic.twitter.com\/0aXbiqzLv7<\/a><\/p>\n
\u2014 Liv. (@Olivia_Thiessen) March 18, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
There have also have been a variety of complaints on Twitter and other social networking venues that people are being locked out of their accounts even if they do<\/em> have the appropriate safeguards. Some say that their text-based 2FA is simply not working:<\/p>\n
\n\nDear @FacebookApp<\/a>: Your new Facebook Protect, which I didn\u2019t ask for, keeps texting me an identical two-factor verification code, which continues to not work. I\u2019m now effectively locked out of my account. This is heightened security? Guess I\u2019ll spend more time on Twitter\u2026 @Meta<\/a><\/p>\n
\u2014 Mike Morrell (@RealMikeMorrell) March 18, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
Others complained that they couldn\u2019t get through the activation process even before the deadline and so are effectively locked out of their accounts:<\/p>\n
\n\nthis Facebook protect thing is so annoying because it\u2019s not letting me turn it on and I need Facebook for work so I\u2019m really hoping Facebook fixes the stupid code<\/p>\n\u2014 Daniela (@itzzdaniela) March 16, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
We\u2019ve contacted the company and asked if they have any suggestions for those who are locked out because their Facebook Protected accounts can\u2019t be accessed. We\u2019ll let you know if we hear back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
