Facebook security check and sms sent code validation

    Hi,

    I will soon move to another place and buy a new PC, a week from now.

    When I log into Facebook from a new device, I am asked to identify friends based on pitcures. The problem is that more than once I almost failed this test, as Facebook was showing pictures of sceneries or animals to recognize.

    But I still have my account.

    Thus, I would like to avoid this verification to happen on my new PC and the risk to lose my account.

    Hence I activated the two-step validation on the purpose that Facebook sends me a validation code via sms, thus being able to verify my identity when connecting from another PC…

    Would this avoid the picture identifying test? Or will Facebook still ask me to perform this test it after asking my password and sms sent code?

    Do you know about a way to get bypas this test?

    Thanks a lot in advance, and have a nice evening!

    I imagine it should mean you don't have to do the picture test.

    You might like to play it safe though and unfriend all the people you don't actually know or couldn't pick out in a lineup.
