Put simply, Checkpoint is a security mechanism of Facebook. It is set up to protect users from unauthorized login attempts and potential hacks on your Facebook account.
The main purpose of Checkpoint is to protect users, especially those with multiple accounts or those frequently traveling. When Facebook detects unusual login activity, such as logging in from a strange location or device, it triggers the Checkpoint mechanism requiring confirmation to verify the user's identity.
Many different reasons can cause a Facebook account to encounter Checkpoint issues. Common causes include:
Some of the most common types of Facebook checkpoint verification include:
Of these, verification via checkpoint photos and personal information tends to be the easiest.

Limit the number of accounts logged in from the same device (preferably no more than 10).
While having many friends is beneficial, excessive requests can lead to Checkpoint reports.
Ensure your personal information is accurate and keep it private to help maintain account security.
Social media continues to evolve rapidly, and Facebook's regulations are no different. It's essential to stay informed about account safety and the risks associated with safety mechanisms like Checkpoint. If your account becomes inaccessible, the steps above can guide your recovery journey.

Installing more RAM is the most effective solution to speed up your computer. Even if your computer is new, after only a few years of use, you will have to install more RAM to ensure better speed.
