I deactivated my Facebook account years ago but this morning i randomly got an email informing me that i had reactivated it (which is done by simply logging back in) but i havent logged in since about 2009!
Is there any way of me veiwing a log of computers etc that have accessed my account?

You can view your active sessions but probably not a history of it.

When you log in from a new device it usually alerts you to this and asks you to give it a name doesn't it? Then it emails the registered email addresses informing you of the additional device. Not used it in years but damn sure that used to happen.

Usually an account is only reactivated when you attempt to login but I'd switch on two-factor authentication and email alerts then go deactivate the account again. If anyone has access they be given access and you'll be alerted of it.

i recommend two-factor authentication (i use it on most services that support it, like Gmail), prevents anyone gaining access without the SMS code sent to your phone.

Hence why i recommend switching on two-factor before deactivating your profile again - if anyone has got your password then they won't get very far

You can clear the 'log', so it's about as useful as a fish with boobs.

So if your account can be reactivated at any time how do you go about getting facebook to delete your stored info?

There is no info there when it's reactivated, it's just like a new account

Deactivation and deletion are different, the latter being permanent.
