Facebook have a security feature of captcha code which shows some words every time you want to do interaction with the people on facebook including:
- adding new friends
- sending message to people who are not in your friend list
Well, this is really good security check though, but can be very much irritating some times, or say , most of the time! So well, how to fix/solve it? and remove it permanently from showing those security check words and asking you to enter the show text from the captcha image in the box before doing any interactions on the facebook? solution is simple.
How to stop facebook security check (captcha)
Facebook simply wants you to verify your account before you can get rid of this captcha code altogether from any activity you do on facebook including adding new people on facebook or sending them messages.
To verify your account with facebook, it needs you to enter your mobile number and it will send you the security code on your mobile number. To get verified on facebook by entering the mobile / cell phone number and get rid of the captcha security code text, follow this:
Click on the verify Your account link on the captcha popup (link circled red in the image below):
It will open another popup.In the new popup, facebook will ask you to select your country and country code and then enter the cell phone number below it. Simply enter the cell number in that place in international form (without the country code ofcourse as it has been already selected above) and then slick confirm.
Upon clicking the confirm button, facebook will check if the number is already registered / associated with another account for verification of not, if not, then it will simply send a confirmation code on your cell phone as a sms message immediately. Simply read the message and enter the confirmation code sent by facebook in the next page and click confirm.
After you press confirm, facebook will show you a message saying that your account is now confirmed, and here you go! no more irritating captcha code, security image text and words, etc! Cool and simple life at facebook! adding new people as friends and messaging those who are not in your friend list yet! But hey! be careful! don’t be very fast at that! because facebook still blocks the account if it uses the features of adding new friends or sending messages above certain limit! so just be easy at that! Have fun! happy facebooking! :D
I don’t consider captcha to be a problem, it takes several minutes to enter it.
but many people consider it to be a problem, including me :)
There is no “Sick of these? Verify account.” in the Security Check box. What will I do?
can you please take a screen shot of that page and show me?
err.. How can I show you? :D
When you post the comment, there is option to upload an image.
Hmm,I didn’t notice this earlier.
Here it goes…
you didn’t see it because it wasn’t there before :P (i am sorry it was disabled, i didn’t notice too)
and looks like facebook don’t have cell phone verification in your country / area. Or you already have entered your cell number?
Where do you live?
LOL. I’ve been wondering how I missed that.
Anyway it’s an FB account of a client. Everything’s set up, even the mobile number. I’ve worked with a handful FB accounts and didn’t encounter this kind of problem.
Try adding the phone number again and see if it sends authentication code.
I send country code and phone number (From Iran) but I don’t receive any code. Can you solve my problem through email?
are you sure that you entered the number correctly?
I confirmed my phone, but I still haven’t got rid of captchas. What could be the problem ?
Make sure that the phone number is not rejected by facebook and that you are receiving friends / status updates from facebook to your cell number.
Don’t think it’s rejected, it shows up at account settings > mobile
About receiving updates, that’s about activating facebook texts? In that case, I can’t because Romania isn’t a supported country :(
Yeah probably that’s the reason. Adding a cell phone number in your profile info doesn’t mean you are “verified” using it. Did you tried following the tutorial above? and it got you a cell number verification process?
Didn’t have that “Sick of these?” option, so I went straight to this link http://www.facebook.com/confirmphone.php where I’ve entered my phone no, received the confirmation code and entered it, and now it says that my mobile was successfully verified.
Well if you didn’t get the option to remove the captcha code on the captcha entry popup, then definitely your country is not supported for this act.
hmmm, pretty strange. This morning when I tried to send msgs, no more captchas appeared. Oh well, facebook works in mysterious ways :P. Ty for your help :)
ohk, thanks for the update cerb, really appreciate that.
So infact the issue was that your verification was not updated to all servers of facebook probably, which is now updated :)
Guess I was wrong. Captchas appeared again when sending msgs.
Think I’ll start using decaptcher.com (sry I didn’t mention: I’m using Facebook Blaster to promote an event and those captchas are really annoying when trying to send msgs to 1000 ppl :D)
oh ok… but why did the captcha disappear previously?
Beats the hell out of me :D. I have FBlaster set at 20msgs. The first time all 20 msgs were sent without any problem, so that’s why I thought it was solved. The 2nd time, only 16msgs were sent before captchas appeared again, and the number of msgs sent kept decreasing. I’m curious to see if tomorrow morning will be the same.
ohk :)
This does NOT solve the link posting captcha’s, my account IS verified already.
When sharing using the SU toolbar, on one machine I _ALWAYS_ have to enter the captcha, on the other machine it NEVER pops up. Both machines run FF3.6 with the same add-ons. There MUST be something different.
Any ideas?
Hello Pete, yes facebook does show captcha while posting links to your facebook profile. And they don’t show any link or message to or how to disable this captcha entry whenever we post a link.
I am not sure what you meant why the captcha pops up with stumble upon tool bar and on other machine (with su toolbar too? )
Right, both machines pretty identical, browsers too. Only the noscript and adblock filter rules/settings might vary. I remember I couldn’t get the captchasto work on one machine until I managed to unblock sime URLs in noscript using a “show menu and icons” addon to be able to access noscript settings from the popup, only then some unexpected URLs showed up. Meanwhile this Addon doesnt work anymore due to upgrading FF to v3.6.x, so I can’t check it out in detail.
However, on one I click share/facebook, get the popup, confirm – and done.
On the other the captchas are bugging me.
Dammit. I’m spending more time having/trying to fix such issues than using the machine.
Well this is sort of strange if both the system have same configuration and browsers + same facebook account logged in.
BTW facebook don’t ask you to enter captcha if you share it to the facebook fan page
How to enable my facebook account?
Hello, what exactly do you mean by how to enable your facebook account Jane? is it disabled? or pending verification?
I would need to debug what’s going on using Firebug etc. But I don’t have the time to do so currently.
However, it’s already a shit to unblock some required URL in Noscript when those only show up whenthe captcha pops up and the toolbars, status bar etc are disabled in this. No sign of those URLs while still in the main FB window.
FB forces most less skilled users to allow everything in order to get it working. Disabling secure settings is a security breach par excellence. Stupid web 2.0 frills. Many thanks, FB!!!
Well nothing is perfect, Facebook is also evolving and trying to improve their code from time to time
Please do update me too when you have any update on the issue.
Imagine this scenario. Legitimate member steals cell phone. Legitimate member has shady tech friend reinitialize the SIM card so it reads with LM’s name instead of the person who “lost” the phone. Legitimate member then uses same cell phone to verify his Facebook account and obtain a “legitimate” username. And they think they’ve improved security with this new strategy! DMML!
How can the sim card be reinitialize with a different owner name? never saw it happen before!
thanks for share info…..
You are welcome…
Is the sms sent to Iran?
I don’t think so. I had been contacted before by another person from Iran too. I think Iran is not supported by Facebook. However if you want to verify your account (cell number) you can use the cell number of any other country. Let me know if you want my services for this purpose.
Dear Nabeel:
Thanks for the help. It will be highly appreciated if you let make use of your number. However, you should let me know whixh country you are in right now to avoid receiving sms late at night or inconvenience times?
many Thanks
fery
please tell me your messenger id to discuss over it.
*******
I’m in the office and yahoo messenger is blocked here. I can be on yahoo messenger in the next 6 hours.
Thnaks
ok i will try to be online at that time.
Stupid facebook,i tried so many time but still didn’t received any message for verification. i confirm that my country is in the list.stupid facebook security….
Did you try with any other network?
I was hoping u could help me my hubby is getting the security code check in hes inbox msgs every time he wants to send a msg facebook i read the above of how to remove it but there is no verify account below the security code box is there any other way of how to remove this annoying thing
what’s your country?
Well I have done the verification bit long ago, and the “verify” does not show up on the captcha. and the captcha is with friends inbox replies, adding friends and inbox message who are not friends. There is no consistency to the captcha. I am wondering if Facebook use’s the captcha as a way to track what you are doing ?????
imho facebook uses captcha just to avoid spam and extensive use of the features.
even if your account is verified but you are over using it, then it first starts showing the captcha and then blocks you from using that feature.
The ban may be lifted in some days or weeks, or else it may also end in blockage of your account altogether.
I am a heavy chatter on inbox, and add friends for games,
So I am being punished for using Facebook for what it is for..
they don’t allow heavy use of inbox, just make sure you don’t use it much now, or else they might terminate your account too. . .
when i try to add freinds it ask me to put in security check words to confirm.
it never asked me before its only been doing it for a few days. and I’ve confirmed my fb account again 30 mins ago and still no joy
yes, this is because facebook noticed that you are using the feature too much, please slow down its usage before your account gets blocked.
how can i get facebook to send me a security code when it says its sent and it hasnt?! it wont help me, ive checked the email is right, and emailed facebook, and tried clicking re send for 3 days? any help?
hello Stephanie.
Did you check your junk / spam folder of your email to see if the message went to the junk mail folder?
I’m not getting the option of “Verify your account”….
What should I do to get this?
if you are not getting that link it probably means either you have already verified your account or else your country is not supported by facebook yet.
i don’t have that verify Your account link..
how about that?
before this i don’t have that problem..i have verify before and suddenly it’s happen
This is because you have been using the feature extensive probably. Slow down in using the feature (which ever is showing you this captcha again) or else your account can also go on a permanent ban by facebook!
I have downloaded IM+ to my Blackberry and ran my facebook and skype through it. Up until a few weeks ago all was well. Out of the blue when connecting to IM+ to activated my facebook it gave me this message “Error, Connection to facebook (email address) failed. Reason: Please log in at your desktop browser and bypass facebook captcha” Before I knew what captcha was, when I logged onto facebook through my laptop facebook requested a captcha verification which I confirmed/activated. Now that I have learned more about captcha how do I get facebook to se-send a captcha verification as per you “security Check” example box?
Why do you want it to resend it? do you want to activate it on another mobile phone?
How to do get access to your acount again??!!?! I moved and facebook wants me to verify my acoount with those stupid photo captchas. How can I verify flowers, farmville photos and boats?!!?!!
Is there anyway to actaully email facebook and have a person do something or is this all automated crap.
I am not very much sure as i didn’t encounter this myself
however i think if you try contacting facebook staff with the feedback and help links provided above in this article, they may help you
I CANT OPEN MY GOLDEN EYES ID([email protected]).. NOW AM OPEN NING IN THIS SAME WEB..HOW CAN I OPEN THIS..
What is the error that you are getting when you try to open this email id?
BRO I CANT SEE THE BLOODY “SICK OF THESE” THINGY BELOW THE CODE!!!!!!!!!!! pls help me out………….
probably your country is not supported by facebook. Which country do you live in?
Nabeel,
Thank you, worked just like you said it would step by step.
Have some fun today !!
you’re welcome :)
cantly..give me my security code???
is it not showing you the option to verify phone number? had you verified before?
i have problem in adding new friends it gives captcha on every new friend plz tell me the solution
previously i have used mobile notifications but now a month ago i have disabled it
salman, did you read the article about how to disable them?
what happens if you do not have a cell phone. how do i cancel the captcha security
you can get a virtual cell phone number from supported country for facebook. Please let me know if you want to buy the service.
I have did the steps above, but it still won’t go away when I try add new people! It’s really getting on my nerves alot!
then probably you need to slow down abit in using the features like adding / messaging a friend on facebook.
Hi I have only just started a facebook account and have verified my account but every time I add a friend it still comes up with captcha. How can I get rid of this? I live in New Zealand and have only been adding people I know (like maybe 50 ppl so far)
did it come initially too? or has it just started to popup? maybe it’s because you are too fast in adding them.
It came up initially so i clicked verify account and put in my vodafone nz cell number, after waiting 2 days to receive a tx I went to the activate mobile bit and put in another cell number on telecom nz network. The activation code immediatley appeared in a tx to that phone and I put in the number and activated the telecome phone but it still asks me for a captcha every time i add someone and no longer gives me the option of verifying account. I never received a tx to my vodafone number.
hm, did you try contacting facebook help for that matter?
and maybe you are over using feature of adding or messaging friends that’s why you’re receiving the error.
how to re-verify account…coz i already verified my account by mail…n yet it ask for security chek every time….n now i have no confirmation mail…n facebook doesent send code on mobile..so what to do??? pliz reply
you need to verify your account by phone
did you read the article and follow the steps mentioned in it?
Facebook/SecurityCheck will not let me de-activate there funny words, and the confirmation codes keep telling me error and/or try again later, and the problem continues no matter what I seem to try.
are you sure you aren’t typing them wrong?
and did you confirm your phone number?
Thank you for these info especially for providing the link (http://www.facebook.com/confirmphone.php) since the verification link option on the
captcha popup is not there.
Again, thanks ^_^
you’re welcome kyn :)
Please help…I am traveling away from home and I can not access my Facebook account! I have tried for over 40 days!! I am 3000 miles away from children and family and this is the way I show where and what I am doing.
I am prompted for the “friendphotocaptcha”…THe first pic is shown, I select..then the second pic “flashes” and then tells me to come back in an hour. What the Hell?
I sometimes go on there 15 times a day! I can’t slow the photos down..I have deleted my browser and cookies, and I have done everything I can think if includding beggin emails to facebook. What now? Make a new account?
did you try contacting facebook staff for this issue?
i already verified my account and confirmed my mobile..and yet their is still a captcha before i add friends..can you help me in solving this?..
maybe you are using the add friend feature too much. Slow down abit and the captcha will go away. Also, if you continue using it with this speed, your account may get suspended too.
no i’m not using the feature too much..i don’t add friends too much
any other feature that you might be using too much? like messaging to the friends through inbox?
i don’t use messaging
should be overuse of any other feature
no i’m not. i only use chat
My mobile no. is verified but still I am getting that annoying captcha. And its also not showing me the “verify phone no.” option.
probably your country isn’t supported or else it’s due to overuse of any feature
its due to overuse of some feature on facebook, like messaging or adding as friends
For me it dosnt say the verify your account or in the bottom say sick of this… it shows everything else but that…. HELP ME PLEASEEEE
probably your country isn’t in the facebook supported countries. You can still get it solved by purchasing a phone verified account. Lemme know if you need details for that.
sorry i try to add friend but from a time and after i recieve this message but nowhere says “Sick Of this” . my country supports facebook but i cant find this thing//
And another question do you know anything on how to add many friends on facebook at once ?
thnks :)
It’s not if your country supports facebook
question is if facebook supports your country (phone numbers)
best way to add many friends is by adding them on messenger and importing them
Also, if you want phone verified account for facebook do let me know.
yes facebook supports my country but the problem is that i cand find the question “Sick of this”
Now about the friends i add them my self but from 40 friend and after facebook appears this security check and i cant add more if i dont fill the text every time i add somenone after 40 friends.
Do you know something about that?
oh. and thanks for the help by the way :)
I’m sorry, I think it’s due to over use of some feature!
sir i m verifying my account throug mob no after this i face again this securty bos :(
i don’t know how to remove this can u tell me about this?
it’s probably due to overuse of any specific facebook feature.
I have verified my account and i log in to my facebook once a day and only for one hour. And in this one hour i don’t send anyone message. I just try to add 1 or 2 friends (my college friends) but still this security check appears.
@Nabeel: I tell you to open a new account in facebook and try to add friends. I know you will also face the same problems. :)
shehjad, i understand your issue, but imho, it’s overuse (in facebook’s view) of the add friend feature.
im getting problem for oping my account but it is asking me to enter security code and some questions so what i need to do plz help me waiting for ur reply
are you trying to register new account or trying to login?
I actually verified it with my cellphone but I still get these captcha’s and I still have the Welcome thing on my page. How do I get rid of it?
you need to complete your profile, add a couple of friends more and it will slowly remove securities from your account. See this post for details: http://nabtron.com/remove-facebook-welcome-page-from-my-account/

hai avuto il problema risolto?
provare a inserire qualche altro numero di cellule
please help me how to open my facebook account i could not open it!
what is the error that you’re seeing when trying to login?
Neat website, but a bit odd, I was sent to straight to the comment page from your home page (http://nabtron.com)… Not sure if that was supposed to happen?
did you click on any item from recent comments?
I’ve typed in the two word sequence and FB is not recognizing the words…and yes I entered the words correctly and did it multiple times just to be sure. I can’t use the verify my account tip provided because I’m deployed and my cell phone is not operational. How do I access my FB account now? Please help.
are you trying to access your facebook account from cell phone? did you try using it on the desktop or laptop?
if i forgot my security code, what can i do?
ask for the code again!
who do I tell to get my security code to log in on f.b?
to Facebook
security check words are not visible to me it is not appearing on the page wat can i do reply me soon
try another browser, or restart your computer
let me know if it remains like this after restarting
I can’t find a way to work around this sudden “required” phone verification thing just to access my account.
is it that your account is blocked now? or just a verification process?
i still dont get the security check i cant see any words they talking about,its jus a password i forgot y is it so difficult HELP!!!!!!!!!!! *ANGRY*
maybe some issue with your browser? there is no box which seems like to be designed to show a picture there?
I cannot receive Facebook security code email
get to step 3 in the process of verifying my account where I click on the ‘send security code’ to (my email address which is correct) and it never arrives in my Hotmail inbox. I have previously received emails from Facebook to the same address, so nothing has changed- it seems that page just isn’t working! I have checked the junkmail, I don’t have any filters running- it just doesn’t get through.
I have tried emailing Facebook at every address I can find still with no response. I haven’t violated any rules or breached any codes- I think someone may have tried to access my account with an incorrect password…not my fault!
I’m getting increasingly angry- no response, no answers,I have tried different browsers- Mozilla, Internet Explorer with no luck.
Please I need to access my account ASAP…Help
well Facebook is troubling users for long now!
Try using some other email id (other than hotmail one) and see if it arrives there.

try using it after some time again
I don’t think it’s right to ask people phone numbers that way, this is kind of not fair. Phone number is a private information and everyone should have a choice to share his private information or not to share :/
and they give you this choice! you can either enter it or keep using it with a captcha!
i would like to sign up another account but the captcha code wont appear and I cannot sign up for a new account
clear the browser cache and try again
please check your text message
check my text message about?
i have a lot of friends i cannot identify their photos and to comfirm the mobile number i do not have a mobile i hate security checks
you can try some one elses number in the family
A hacker added my security question, but i cant get rid of it and i dont know the asnwer to it :S
you can retrieve your password to your email from facebook
pliz i had some big problem.When i enter my phone number and until now i didnt get the code trough my phone..
any other way?

Facebook wasn’t sending messages properly these days, its probably fixed now. Try again
i have problem in facebook security sheck point.
whats the problem that you’re having
can u help me!,facebook ask me to fill up the a security code!,,the thing is i cannot find my old mobile number!,,what other else can i do ,to open my facebook, account without filling the security code!
if you have session saved on any other computer you can login in it and approve this computer from there
Also remove the security check this way
i have no other log in session saved!, what else can i do!,,i tried many way!,,but i always ended up in the state that i will fill the security code.
have you tried contacting facebook directly?
i dont have a phone number
how can u disable the phone check ? my facebook is disabled …
you will have to contact facebook staff
1. There are actually people out there who use Facebook who do not OWN a cellphone.
2. There are actually real-live people out there who do NOT want their cellphone number linked to a social network account.
3. Facebook forces CAPTCHA on 3 things that I know of:
–a. sending a link through message chats
–b. sometimes in group messages, saying to slow down, you may be using a feature in a way it is not intended
–c. sending too many friend requests in a day
I can sort of understand the first and the third, but the second one makes no sense to me.
