facebook

Post by rocky12345 »

Hi All
I keep getting a message when I log on facebook that I have too many accounts and they need to be deactivated.
I have one for me,one for the wife and one for my son.
Surely this is fairly normal,does anyone know what I'm meant to do?
Thank You in advance.

Are you using the same e-mail address for all accounts? If you are, they should have their own e-mail addresses.

Have you had an account, forgot the password for logging in and then created another duplicate account using the same e-mail address in the past?

If you're using different names, passwords and e-mail addresses for each account facebook treats you all as different people. They have to, otherwise no one would be able to login on other people's laptops and public PCs.

Do you get the same message when logging in on another PC?

I have'nt tryed,it's probably something to do with having three facebook acounts at one ip address.
But how many households must have two.three or even four different facebook addresses at one house?

Your IP address doesn't make a difference. Imagine how many people log into their facebook profiles in big offices, libraries, schools, hotels and universities.

This is all very weird.

A shot in the dark but try deleting all your cookies, remembered passwords and internet history (make backups where required). Then try logging in again. If that doesn't work try a different browser.
