Fake Facebook security warning
Just a heads up for people to be aware of a "password reset" warning that is doing the rounds from
security @facebookmail(dot)com
It is addressed to the correct email address, and your name is in the greeting, so there must have been a leak somewhere
Quote
"We received a request to reset your Facebook password.
Enter the following password reset code:
(Number given)
Alternatively, you can directly change your password"

sorted byA Facebook security warning, that was actually from Facebook. That has to be the first occasion of this happening to me.
It seems they do confirm it, but you have to dig to find out it is genuine. I had to use instructions from a third party site.
So, if you have a concern, and want to check, go to your profile,
Accounts center
Passwords and privacy
Security checks - recent emails
Security / other emails (edited)
Someone did indeed try to log in to your account & the email is genuine & that is why they have your name in the email?
