How to Exit Out of Facebook Verification
Exit Facebook verification successfully to begin using your account again after Facebook prompts you to verify it. Facebook asks you to verify your account if you access it from a strange computer IP address -- for instance, when you travel abroad. Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails you receive asking you to verify your Facebook account. Facebook only asks you to verify your account when you attempt to log in on the site.

Review the activity for which Facebook placed the "roadblock" on your account and confirm or deny whether you had knowledge of it. If someone else was accessing your account from a different IP address, Facebook needs to know so the appropriate officials can track him down.

Tips & Warnings
Do not click any link in any email message that asks you to verify your Facebook account at the risk of imperiling your security. Doing so takes you to an external site that prompts you for your personal information -- and, in some instances, your Facebook account credentials. Facebook never requests this information from you.
