I have experienced this when I've logged into my facebook account using a mobile browser such as operamini and ucweb. There are times that the IP i use in operamini is different from the other that's why facebook will automatically detect a suspicious user trying to access. We go through those security measures because facebook wants to know if it is only ours. i think we can skip those image identification because before with it , facebook gives another option such as our registered number and secondary email ojha.

This happened to me when I forgot my password. If the people on your friends list are people you know, this should not be difficult. If you don't know them, perhaps you have too many strangers on your FB list.
You can skip any of the questions or take a guess. You don't have to get all of them right, just a majority of them. Try again and if it is no good, then contact Facebook support.

Obviously this has to be some kind of prank!
In the future, if such thing should happen again, be sure to view html source of that page before doing anything else!
What I mean is all browser enable us to view html source of page, Example:
IE: Select view from menue and select "source"
Firefox: CTRL-U
copy and paste entire thing in notepad.
Contact the admin by explaining what is going on and provide html source that you have copied into notepad for their investigation. That should cause the admin update security aspect of website!

hi pro,
You can recover it by changing your password
It's either they will send the confirmation code in your mobile or email address
happy mylotting

I never heard of this my friend. It never happened to me so far. Any way, be careful, as there are chances of some malware spyware attack. Now a days, we have to be very careful. Internet is a double edged knife. As there are genuine sites, there are equal number of fakes. When a site like FB gets this much fame, sure there are chances of fake people target it to defame it. Better change your password. And do not check the "remember me" or "Keep Log in" button.
