2 basic vulnerabilities in the recovery options were
1.What was the last name of your first grade teacher? you can use this question as very few will know the answer of this question but you..
2. In what city or town was your mother born? never ever use this question if it's not secret. there is no secret in it.. most of the people who know little about you will find out this question simply by guessing or by visiting your mother's Facebook profile...
3. What street did you live on when you were 8 years old?
one of 50-50 questions very few except the one's who played with you on that street or who watched you there will know the answer.
4. What was the last name of your third grade teacher?
Same as the first Question
now question 4 and 5 I would suggest you not to use.. as this is also vulnerable to a large group of people.
5. What was your grandfather's occupation?
6. What was your grandmother's occupation?
The easiest way of securing your facebook account against this attack is by using a trusted friends:
Trusted friends are friends you can reach out to if you ever get locked out of your Facebook account (ex: you turn on login approvals and then lose your phone, you forget your Facebook password and can’t get into your login email account to receive a password reset). If you get locked out, we’ll send each of your trusted friends a security code. All you need to do is call your friends and collect the codes.

2. 3 Trusted Friends:
Facebook is constantly trying to improve their website’s security by
introducing new security features that would help facebook users to stay
safe and secure. We recently published a report that around 83 Million Facebook Accounts Are Fake, therefore
facebook is having a tough time improving their services and making it
spam free and more secure. One of those important security features that
facebook introduced in late 2011 named “Trusted Friends Feature”.This feature enabled a facebook user to recover his/her facebook account by choosing 3 trusted
friends who will be provided a key (code) by facebook and the facebook
user would need to call the trusted friends and ask for the codes, Once
the facebok user has entered all three of the keys, he would regain
access to his/her facebook account.
In the last post we have shown How this Feature is Exploited to hack a facebook Account.
How To Secure Your Facebook Account
The easiest way of securing your facebook account against this attack is by using a trusted friends:
What are trusted friends?
Trusted friends are friends you can reach out to if you ever get locked out of your Facebook account (ex: you turn on login approvals and then lose your phone, you forget your Facebook password and can’t get into your login email account to receive a password reset). If you get locked out, we’ll send each of your trusted friends a security code. All you need to do is call your friends and collect the codes.
You’ll only need 3 codes to get back into your account, but we
recommend picking 5 trusted friends so you have back-up. Your trusted
friends should be people you can easily call and who are likely to
respond to you quickly.
You can pick your trusted friends from your Security Settings page.

1. Go to your Security Settings page (Account > Account Settings > Security)
