How will I ever find all of my friends again in case my account becomes disabled or hacked?

Hello,

In order to retrieve a list of your friends, you could download your Facebook information. When you do so, you will get a zip file containing the following information:

-Your profile information (e.g., your contact information, interests, groups)
-Wall posts and content that you and your friends have posted to your profile
-Photos and videos that you have uploaded to your account
-Your friend list
-Notes you have created
-Events to which you have RSVP’d
-Your sent and received messages
Any comments that you and your friends have made on your Wall posts, photos, and other profile content

To begin this process, go to your [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] page, then click the "Download" button.

Because this file contains your profile information, Facebook asks for authentication to confirm your identity before you can complete the download process. They will send an email to the email listed on your Facebook account to confirm that you initiated the process. Once you receive the email, you will have to re-enter your password and if you are using a public computer or one you do not use regularly, you may also have to solve a friend photo captcha or an SMS captcha via your mobile phone.

NB: The file contains sensitive information. You should keep it secure and take precautions when storing, sending or uploading it to any other services.
