Trusted contacts are the users you can reach out if you have any problem in login or getting your Facebook Account. For example, if you have forgotten your password and even can't get back to your email to reset the password.
We recommend every Facebook user to set their trusted contacts to avoid any future problem in getting the access of your Facebook account back.

And in case when you are adding more than 3 friends to trusted contact list, you will need a private code from each contact before you can get access to your account. Remember each person can get the code only by accessing Facebook. So, only choose the friends who use Fb often and get back to you as soon as possible.
