February 25, 2023 by Cloe

Are you having trouble accessing your Messenger account because you don’t have a Facebook account or you don’t want to use it to recover your Messenger account? Well, the good news is that it is possible to recover your Messenger account without Facebook.

Here’s how you can do it:

Firstly, open your Messenger app and log out of your account. Then, select “Forgotten Password” which is located at the bottom of the screen. Next, type in the phone number or email that is linked to your Messenger account. After typing in your email, tap “Next”.

Now, a verification code will be sent to either your email or phone number. Choose your email and tap “Next”. Once you receive the code, enter it and it will bring you to a screen with two options. You can log out of other devices that you may be currently logged in, or select “Keep me logged in” if you remember that it’s really you who’s logged in.

If you want to log out of all devices, choose the “Log me out of other devices” option. If you choose to keep yourself logged in, tap “Next” and it will prompt you to update your password. Create a strong password that you can remember and press “Next”. You’ll be all set!

If you have any questions about this process, leave them in the comments section below. Remember, you don’t need to use Facebook to recover your Messenger account. Thanks for reading and have a good day!
