Patent number: 11848927Abstract: A social networking system performs account recovery for a user with the help of the user's connections (e.g., friends). The social networking system selects connections of the user based on information indicating likelihood of real-world interactions between the user and the selected connections. Access codes are sent to the selected connections and the user instructed to obtain access codes from the selected connections via a communication that is outside the social networking system, for example, via phone. The user provides the access codes obtained from the selected connections to the social networking system. If the access codes provided by the user match the access codes sent to the selected connections, the user is granted access to the account. Real-world interactions between two users are determined based on sharing of devices between the users or information indicating presence of the users in the same place during same time interval.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Yigal Dan Rubinstein, Jacob Andrew Brill, Arturo Bejar, Jonathan H.
