Sometimes Facebook decides you’re suspicious—maybe you used a VPN, or you typed your username too fast. You’ll land on a page asking for a six-digit code sent to your phone or email.
This is the digital equivalent of a bouncer asking for ID while you just want to buy a soda. Check your inbox, spam folder, and maybe yell at the ceiling a little. If the code doesn’t show up, hit “Resend” and wait like a normal human instead of refreshing ten times.
Pro tip: If you use a shared family computer, make sure you’re not accidentally activating your dad’s account. I once spent an hour activating a profile named “SuzieQ1947”—not my finest hour.
