Hey everyone, I really need some advice because I'm having a frustrating issue with my Facebook account. For the past few months, I've been getting constant notifications about someone trying to reset my password. I've been changing my password regularly, but the problem persists. This situation has gotten so bad that I got banned from the Facebook Marketplace after a hacker posted strange stuff from my account. I just want to know how to protect myself and regain my Marketplace privileges. If anyone has experience with this, please help!

It sounds like your email might be at risk rather than just your Facebook password. Someone could be trying to access your account because they think your email belongs to them. I recommend changing the email linked to your Facebook. Also, make sure to change your email's password directly! Then, reach out to Facebook support about the Marketplace issue after sorting this out. If things don't improve, you might want to create a new account with a fresh email and password to regain access.
Honestly, not changing your password is bad advice. If you still have access, change your password to something strong—15 characters with numbers, symbols, and uppercase letters. Also, create a new email that isn’t tied to any other accounts, swap out your old one, and check for any fake accounts linked to yours. Make sure to lock them out! Just thought I’d clarify since some comments really miss the mark on security.
Thanks for clarifying! I appreciate your help!
