recovering a second facebook profile anyone?

from their help page

that option only appears after the 2nd account has logged in on that browser, so it's disappeared as you've cleared the cache and not logged in with it since.
So I don't think the account actually needs recovering exactly, you just need to log in to FB again with the email/password combo that you used for the 2nd account. If you can remember (and have access to) the email address at least, you can probably request a password reset.

they certainly dont make it easy to either create a second profile

I'm sure that goes against all their T&Cs anyway, so hardly surprising!!

i dont think i used a different password, it was all done within my primary account. i certainly havent made a note of anything different, which i would have done if i needed it i think.

it didnt seem to as they asked me to provide proof of some sort that it was still me, so it wasnt done in a dishonest way. just cant remember what i did now 😀

thanks

Ah right, that sounds like something different maybe - you’re allowed to have an identity connected to a “page” (business or group) that you have. It’s not a 2nd account as such. Possibly they twigged you weren’t using it as intended?

aye, possibly then. just seems coincidence that it was immediately after a refresh of cache/cookies.

ah well, no worries.

thanks

still googling away and i can see that to 'change who i am commenting as'.... i need to switch profiles. this is facebook advice and says to click the profile pic top right and switch profiles. so its possible, i just dont know how to create another profile (again).

anyone else maybe know how to do this please?

thanks

I've no idea about multiple Facebook profiles, but if I wanted to do what you're seemingly doing then I'd use two different browsers.

I'm sure this is to do with the business/group page I mentioned earlier, i.e. I can choose to comment either as myself or as my business name. I am 100% sure there is no mechanism in Facebook for normal users to easily swap identities/be anonymous etc (except where this is explicitly allowed in Groups) as this obviously could be exploited by stalkers etc.

as above just use another browser or privacy mode or whatever and sign up to a new account with a different email address. (Do the bookies really have spies on FB?!)

grrrrr.... the most obvious answer sometimes is most obvious. just 5 bloody minutes on something ive spent ages trying to sort.
now to try and find some way of deleting that 'page' ive just set up on my real account bahhhh.

thank you kind sir, you iz jeeniuss

thanks, another person with more brains than my good self. and to answer your last question, i dont know. but if i was a bookie and knew about people making money from me, i'd probably join the group where they all reside, and cross-reference a few names to check accounts 😉
ive no proof that they actually do this tho, just trying to last as long as i can before they bin me. (already lost a few anyway which is par for the course but playing the percentage survival game :D)

thanks for your help
