A few months ago Facebook instituted a new photo verification procedure as a way to further protect the privacy of its users. Unfortunately, this didn’t really turn to be as seamless as what may have been planned.<\/p>\n

In fact, it’s become a royal pain especially if you travel frequently, try and access Facebook from a different IP or public computer, and have more than a few hundred friends. Here’s a short video I put together that explains a bit more.<\/p>\n

This is typically the notice you get when you’re about to go through the Facebook photo verification process:<\/p>\n

Your account was recently accessed from a location we’re not familiar with. For your protection, please review your recent activity to make sure no one is using your Facebook account without permission. <\/em><\/p>\n

Reviewing your activity takes just a few moments. We’ll start by asking you a couple of questions to confirm that this is your account. (If we recognize your computer, you’ll be able to skip this step.)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Afterward, you’ll go through a security check,\u00a0 be asked a few questions, then onto photo verification to try and gain access to your account. Distant location access within short periods of time is supposedly the main trigger, according to Facebook.<\/p>\n

As someone that travels quite a bit, this is very annoying. I have several thousand friends on Facebook and if I enter the wrong name for one of the images that they pull, they lock the account! Heck, I have friends that are having problems and they have less than 100 friends.<\/p>\n

Facebook is a networking platform where one of the things you do is meet new people and be SOCIAL. I would imagine it’s fairly common to meet someone online and not remember their name the next day. With that in mind, it would be a better idea to (like some bloggers have suggested) have photo recognition software combined with only asking you to identify people that you’ve been TAGGED in photos with.<\/p>\n
