[Reporter Qiu Qiaozhen/Taipei Report] As the countdown to 2026 enters, LINE recently issued another announcement to remind some users to complete the phone number setting before December 31 this year, otherwise the original account may no longer be able to be used. There are less than 2 months left before the deadline. Especially users who have logged in to LINE through a Facebook account in the past and have not yet bound their phone number should be careful to avoid affecting the use of their original accounts and related data.

According to LINE's announcement, LINE will stop supporting the function of logging in to LINE through Facebook accounts as early as January 2024. To ensure that existing users can continue to use their original accounts, officials currently require users whose LINE accounts are "only linked to Facebook accounts" to complete phone number binding before December 31, 2026.

LINE emphasizes that if the setting is not completed within the deadline, the original Facebook linked ID will be deleted, and the LINE account will no longer be able to be used. Related information and props originally bound to the account will also be affected.

This measure does not apply to all LINE users. It mainly affects users who have only connected their accounts through Facebook in the past and have not yet bound their phone numbers. The purpose is to reduce the risk of account decapitation and fraud and further improve security.

How to confirm whether the account is bound? LINE explains that users only need to open the LINE App and go to "Settings" > "Account" > "Phone Number" to view the relevant settings and bind the phone number.

In addition, the LINE Support Center reminds that each phone number can only be bound to one LINE account. If you use an account number that has been bound to other LINE accounts for authentication, the LINE account originally set with that account number may not be able to be used. Therefore, you should first confirm whether the phone number has been used for other accounts before operating, so as not to affect the use of the original account.
