While trying to get reconnected to people online, I decided to check in to Facebook from my desktop PC. Soon, I started getting messages on my phone that my user name and password were incorrect. When I tried to sign back into Facebook from a PC to investigate, a message said it was reported to Facebook that my account may not be legit, and I now have to go through a security check to regain access to my account (and verify that I am indeed a human being, and that I am the rightful owner of the account).
This isn't the first time I had this problem. It seems whenever I try to access the site from a secondary source, Facebook suddenly thinks my account has been hacked, and I have to go through some form of security check to get back into my account!
The security check involves Facebook showing you a number of photos from your friends' albums, and a multiple choice list of possible friends whose album the photo may belong to. Fortunately I have a relatively small list of friends, so I was able to identify the friends and unlock my account fairly easily. If I had a huge amount of people in my friends list, there is a possibility I would not be able to pass the security check!
So lesson learned...stick to one source to access Facebook!
