In the Facebook community—especially among those who trade or manage multiple accounts—the term “956 safe” refers to a specific type of security checkpoint lock. This happens when Facebook detects suspicious activity that might indicate your account has been accessed by someone else or from an unusual location or device.

1. How to Recognize the 956 Safe Error

  • Upon login, Facebook shows a message such as “Your account has been locked” with an illustration of a locked safe.

  • The page displays the exact date the account was locked.

  • Your profile is completely hidden: no one can search for your name, send you messages, or view your information until the lock is removed.

2. Common Causes of the 956 Safe Error

  • Logging in from a new or unrecognized device/IP address.

  • Unusual activities like rapid profile changes, mass friend requests, or spammy behavior.

  • Multiple people accessing the same account from different locations.

3. Can a 956 Safe Account Be Opened?

Yes — but the success rate depends on whether you still have the original account information. Common unlocking methods include:

  1. Logging in from a device and network you’ve used before.

  2. Verifying your identity via linked email or phone number.

  3. Submitting government-issued ID (matching the account’s name and date of birth) if requested.

4. Tips After Unlocking

  • Change your password immediately.

  • Enable two-factor authentication for extra security.

  • Avoid logging in from many devices or unusual locations in a short period.

How to avoid safe error 956?

1. Log in Safely & Consistently

  • Always log in from familiar devices and internet networks.

  • If you must log in on a new device, use the same or a nearby IP address as before.

  • Avoid logging in from multiple devices or distant locations at the same time.

  • Do not use spammed IPs, VPNs, or “dirty” IP addresses to log in. If you keep using such IPs to access other accounts, those accounts may also get locked.

2. Keep Complete Security Information

  • Always keep the account’s original email and phone number.

  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via SMS or an authenticator app.

  • Update personal information to match your ID documents (for important accounts).

3. Avoid Unusual Activities

  • Do not send too many friend requests in a short period.

  • Avoid changing your name, profile picture, email, or phone number repeatedly.

  • Limit spamming messages, comments, or posting in bulk.

4. For Purchased or Clone Accounts

  • After receiving the account, log in gently—only browse and interact lightly for the first few days.

  • Do not run ads or perform heavy seeding activities right away.

  • Gradually “warm up” the account to build Facebook’s trust.
