    When did this start? I last logged into Facebook about a year ago because a high school classmate died and I was expected to post a few words. My account had been deactivated but not deleted for three or four years prior, and I had no issues.

      Guessing they forgot the password, maybe had account recovery set up on an old phone. I would have had to do similar steps if I hadn’t held on to my previous phone after deciding I didn’t want to even set up fb on my newer phone and then it wanted me to verify a login on my app when I decided to check it on the desktop.

      Because they said somewhere else that the dog has been dead for a few years now ;0) unless, of course, that was someone else’s comment

    Not wanting to give Facebook my driver’s license is why I haven’t logged in for over 5 years.

    This is actually a thing I’ve experienced. The dog has been dead for 4 years. Obviously, I’m friends with my dog, so it reminds me of her birthday (couple days ago) and then I remember that this account exists and they won’t let me delete it. I tried to report her as deceased and it wanted an obituary.

      Maybe you could email them a vet record instead? The vet can print out her vaccines and the computer will put a deceased label on it if shes marked as deceased. Vet records are technically legal documentation so they may qualify
