Question from Carl S.: Hi Rick. Here’s a question that you probably haven’t received before, and I hope you can answer it for me.

Sometimes I’m able to help them reset their password and log back in with no problems, but all too often a simple password reset doesn’t work for them.
And sadly, in situations like this Facebook’s “Account Recovery” tools can be pretty close to useless. [Read more…]
