No, it’s for when you’ve forgotten your password. They send you a code, and if you enter it, it takes you to a page where you choose a new password. Instagram and Facebook are absolutely ridden with these scammers, because they take over accounts, use them to take over other accounts, and then draw people into bitcoin scams where they think it’s legitimate because “all these other people” are commenting on the site that yes, this bitcoin exchange site made them thousands. But all those comments are generated by the same scammer.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I have zero experience on social media, and it shows.
Too bad Free Republic did not have that in 2004.
I lost my 2000 FR password in 2004 when I bought a new computer. I had to start over with a new screen name and no archive.
I refuse to do business with any entity through FB or any other such platform. That includes local government entities, city, county, state agencies as well as private businesses.
Do not feed the beast.....even for pictures of the kids.
