If you've just attempted to log into facebook and discovered you can't log in or have been logged out and are now being asked to verify names to pictures, don't worry you're not the first to experience this.
I had this myself one day after returning home from work a number of weeks ago. When I got back online I asked if anyone had experienced this but there were no replies that gave confirmation.
Weeks later a friend has just experienced the same thing so I just googled it and apparently it is a security protocol of facebooks, though they fail to warn you or anyone its going to happen.
What you are faced with is 5 photos to verify (match to the correct name) all well and good but if your friends change photos regularly to photo's which do not depict their face you could be screwed. In fact on googling you get 2 skips per photo.
There are online suggestions for bypassing this, again all well and good if you are for-warned.
Whilst this is happening your account is disabled and will become unaccessable so all you can do is run random names against google images or hope facebook does adhere to their rule for this protocol of using only those who have spoken to you regularly.
Why they are doing this I haven't yet found out, but it is quite worrying when it happens if you do not know about it. It also doesn't appear to be a new thing since there are google posts a year old.
