Any advice about Facebook would be appreciated here.

FB has taken it upon themselves not to recognize my password. Every time I try to re-set, the only "Security Question" they'll accept is a scan of either my passport or my driver's license, something I am totally not willing to send out. (When I signed up I put in several actual Security Questions). Does anybody know how to change the setting so they'll accept one of my security questions, instead of a government document (helpfully scanned into a Photoshoppable jpg that could go pretty much anywhere)?

Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions or solutions?

Any alternative system or site to use instead of Facebook?

Michael Gamet sounds 'hokey' don't do it!
Try a different device first.
Did you supply a phone number as back up - Account recovery?
I'd choose that over scanning documents.. sounds SCAMY to me.

Good luck -

C. Scott Kippen Something is wrong here. Sounds like you are being forwarded somewhere you shouldn't be. No application asks for those things.

Marti Dolata My suggestion, borrow someone elses device, or go to your public library and use their computer to log onto facebook. You should be able to log right in. If you are using an app to try to logon and it ius asking you for those documents, I'd delete the app and reload a fresh one. Same with whatever link you're using to get to facebook, it has been corrupted, and you are being sent to a lookalike scam page. Get a new link. And report the false link to facebook, they don't like scammers either and probably have the knowhow and weight with service providers to get the false site taken down.
