I'm in a bit of a bind! My mom is trying to log into her Facebook account but can't remember her password. When she tries to reset it using her phone number, Facebook doesn't recognize her device because her old phone fell in the toilet. Is there a way for us to spoof her old IP address, or any other method we can use to make Facebook think she's on her old device, so we can reset her password and access her account?

Actually, it's not just the IP address Facebook cares about; it's the device itself. Facebook has pretty sophisticated ways of recognizing devices.
So, how does Facebook actually recognize devices? Is it by something like the MAC address, or a hardware fingerprint?
