If you've turned on two-factor authentication, you can get ten recovery login codes to use when you're unable to use your phone.
Once you have your recovery codes, you can use one instead of your authenticator code when logging in.
Get your codes
  1. Click your profile picture in the top right of Facebook.
  2. Select Settings and privacy, then click Settings.
  3. Click Security and login.
  4. Under the Two-factor authentication section, click Use two-factor authentication. You may need to re-enter your password.
  5. Next to Recovery codes, click Setup, then Get codes. If you've already set up recovery codes, you can click Manage, then Show codes.
You can print or write down the ten codes that appear. You'll only be able to use each code once. If you run out of codes or lose them, you can request new ones by clicking Get new codes.
If you're having trouble logging in to your account and you have two-factor authentication turned on, learn more about how to troubleshoot login with two-factor authentication.
