| Facebook does this to people sometimes. They usually think you have a fictitious name or used someone else's identity. Chances are that someone hacked your account as well if you had a password reset that you didn't make. Trying to verify your friends is hard because some of them don't use their face in their profile pictures but use some other picture instead. Also some people add users that they don't know for the games and sharing gifts each day. https://www.facebook.com/help/185747581553788 Reasons for disabling an account: Continued prohibited behavior after receiving a warning or multiple warnings from Facebook Unsolicited contact with others for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, dating or other inappropriate conduct Use of a fake name Impersonation of a person or entity, or other misrepresentation of identity Posting content that doesn't follow the Facebook Terms Facebook doesn't even give you a warning sometimes. Chances are someone reported you for some violation. |
That said, whoever tried to reset my password didn't succeed as far as I know. My name is quite common so I doubt it comes off as a fake name. My account is old, so I can't imagine the reason being flagged for misrepresentation or impersonation, especially since I don't even proactively post stuff.
I use FB mainly to connect to chat on messenger, follow up on my news feed, and connect to some accounts that uses FB login. Nothing in recent memory other than adding my phone for two step verification could have possibly trigger this but could be something I am over looking.
At this point I just want to know how long this is going to continue. Thanks for the heads up though.
