Unfortunately I've had my Facebook on auto login for so long I can't remember my password. I go to retrieve my account and the email it's attached to is over 15 years old and when try to retrieve my Hotmail the number attached I don't have anymore. When I submit recovery and I send info to recover it gets declined which I don't understand as I know my own details. I'm desperate to retrieve my account as I will lose all my travel photos. Thank you
True be honest, Facebook doesn't care about its users anymore and they have nothing to do with how old your account is or how important it is for you. If you've the same info on Facebook as you have on your real then it can be recovered otherwise not.

I just scraped an insta account because it got hacked, was on private and the owner lost access. Took a few hours to work out what to do but I got there. Get one of your friends to go through all the photos and download them, take screenshots etc and accept that you've lost the account. When things change - like postal addresses, email addresses, phone numbers there are a lot of places that need to be updated and some will fall through the cracks. I recently had "the talk" with my husband about his passwords and that there are only 2 he needs to remember - his Gmail and his apple id. Once he has those we can access all the others. In your case that would be your Hotmail account. Losing access to that was a big mistake if you still have "important" accounts linked to it - in this case, your Facebook account. So my recommended next step is to get a friend to retrieve your photos. An alternative, that is probably dodgy AF, is to send a tweet saying "oh no, lost my Facebook account" and you will be inundated with the names of people who can retrieve your account. IF you choose to do this change all your important passwords afterwards, especially if any match the password you think you used on fb.
