Digital Trends – Announced in an official Facebook post this morning, the social network plans to test a method of account recovery that uses trusted friends to provide access to a userâs Facebook account. This system is similar to lending out a house key to a neighbor or friend when traveling on vacation or a business trip. Friends can help a Facebook user recover account access when the user forgets their password and doesnât have access to an email account for recovery. Facebook users can choose between three to five friends to trust with account recovery and they will be supplied a code via email to help regain access to the account.
