Newbie - Need Help - Facebook Password

[dotcomfreaK]

Hi all,

Looking for a bit of help. My friend's wife has died and her facebook is logged in on her TouchPad. Im trying to find a way to retrieve the password so he can access the photos and videos stored on her account via the PC.

I have come across the Impostah software however Im now lost as to what to do. Any help would be grately appreciated.

Sorry, can't do. The credentials stored are Facebook API returned tokens. Unless you know if it's possible and how to extract user data from the tokens, there's no way to get the password from the TP.

Sorry for the loss.

I would presume the best course is if the friend (when he is ready) contacts FB and explains.

They might just send him a file with the pics, etc...

maybe on the web browser was also logged in? Then change the password?

To those who want to help the poor man log into his deceased wife's FB profile...

It is understandable to empathize with his position.

However, there is no legal right for any individual to log into another's account. Even though he is a surviving spouse it is not ethical without explicit approval and cooperation of Facebook. Had she wanted him to have that password she would have shared it with him. Absent that, only proper clearance through the site should be sought for access.

No, it is not community property. Granted, it is not a bank account or a vault full of state secrets. Nevertheless, individual privacy laws are quite specific.
