I haven’t been on Facebook in something over a decade and received an email today saying that there was a request to reset my Facebook password. I decided to long into the account to delete it but the only option Facebook gave me to confirm my identity was to upload a scan of a photo ID. What insanity is that? I’m obviously not going to send them a copy of my dl. Is there any way to nuke my account without logging in or to log in without sending them any information they don’t already have?

Please tell me you have a photo of your dog’s fake ID.
sorry friend… I quickly whipped it together in gimp, I believe, three computers ago :(
However, one thing worth noting… I had to buy the old domain to some website I ran in college. It was her email address… and I needed a code to submit the ID. She got crazy locked out of the account due to VPN use. Anyway so I bought the domain, set up a back up email and then submitted the ID. Cost me nothing as I was able to refund the domain in time. But damn it was a lot of work… but I’ve been runnin that account for like 10 years.
RIP lil homie :) (had to put her down recently but she was nearly 18 and well loved)
