Can't remember passwords? Facebook friends can now rescue you





If recalling passwords is a bit of a challenge for you- like it is for a lot of us- then Facebook has perhaps found a solution for, well, all of us. It has now made it possible for users who have forgotten their password to seek help from a pre-designated group of 2-3 trusted friends.
"Similar to other features that help you prove your identity through your friends, you can now select three to five trusted friends who can help you if you ever have issues accessing your account," says Facebook.
It adds, 'It’s sort of similar to giving a house key to your friends when you go on vacation–pick the friends you most trust in case you need their help."
If you forgot your password and need to login but can’t access your email account, you can rely on your friends to help you get back in.  We will send codes to the friends you have selected and they can pass along that information to you.


The website will also introduce a feature called “App Passwords” that's aims at ensuring increased security to Facebook-enabled applications.
