Facebook password reset code Email
Anjali Khurana, Facebook Project Manager, '07-'11 ·
Facebook doesn't randomly generate password reset emails. There are two possibilities here:
Someone is manually entering your Facebook-associated email or username in the login field and then clicking to request a password reset email. They could be trying to hack your account, could be trying to indirectly harass you by pestering you with a ton of password reset emails, or they could genuinely think they own your email or username. This last one happens more often than you might think. I have a fairly short Gmail username, and my Facebook username is my first name, which is a common one in India. I get multiple password reset emails per day from people whose first name is "Anjali" and don't really understand the concept of a username—they just put that in the account lookup field because they think Facebook is asking for their given name (or sometimes because that's the username/email address they think or wish they had).
The best solution to this for me was to set up an email filter that puts all these reset emails into a folder. Another thing you could do is to change your Facebook-associated email or Facebook username to something uncommon so that there are no account matches when people randomly enter your info in the reset form.
You're getting phishing emails. A lot of phishers will send emails that mimic Facebook password reset emails, trying to get you to click on one of the links inside, which direct you to their own form that looks identical to Facebook (but isn't). Once you enter your own credentials in the reset process, they'll save and use that data to hack into your account on the real Facebook website. Ideally, just don't open or click any part of these emails if you know you didn't reset your password, and always carefully double-check the domain of the sender and URL when you do click through Facebook emails.
