I dropped my phone and it broke. I have my number, but I am unable to receive login codes from Facebook. What can I do to get my account back?

If you set up recovery codes, then try to use those. If you did not set up recovery codes, then click on "Need another way to authenticate?" at the bottom of the box that asks for your two-step verification code.

It is a good idea to use 2-step verification on all of your accounts that offer it. Using it will make it harder for your account to be hacked.
