Access to that facebook of someone who passed away? - kodiak_girl2006 - 11-09-2012 07:21 PM
My little sister passed away and I need to get access to her facebook page. I went through all there help center and couldn't find any way to contact anyone. Do I have to go through the forgotten password and deal with yahoo to get her password to that? Isn't there any easier way?

Very sorry to hear about her passing. I hope this can help.
With data protection laws using the forgotten password links wouldnt be recommended. I would suggest going through the correct method shown on the below link :
http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13941&ref_query=death#!/help/?search=deceased
Theres a special form on this link for special requests which can be filled although the timescale isnt indicated.
As for yahoo, it would be classified as a separate organization so its dependent on the way your sister originally set up her account but most likely not integrated as one open ID as these have only been recently introduced.
I hope this is helpful.
I hope this helps you and my condolences in what is a very difficult time. my best wishes.
