Time to start changing all your passwords. Start with your email(s) so that you know whoever it is can’t get into that.

And use something not easily guessed. Also report it to FB, I’m sure they log the IP of failed login attempts.

Anyone remotely intelligent would use a proxy of some sort.

They would, but I don’t think this person is all that intelligent. They are trying to break into a personal FB page, most likely targeting the OP specifically. An intelligent person wouldn’t waste their time guessing passwords, they’d phish for it.

Good point. This is why security questions should never be answered by an actual answer.

On actual FB homepage, Under ‘Account’ select ‘Account Settings’  
Under ‘Account Security’ select ‘Browse FB on secure connection (Https) when possible.’ Just make sure that is selected, should help.
