If your current one is weak or is too easy to guess, Facebook will notify you and ask you to change it. After you have changed your password, Facebook will ask you to confirm it. To make things easier, you can also use a password manager to remember your passwords. You can also set it to change automatically at a certain time every month.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_Facebook_password_on_desktop\"><\/span>How to change your Facebook password on desktop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in changing your Facebook password on a desktop computer is to sign in to your Facebook account. Log in using your email address and any password you choose. Be sure to keep in mind that if you enter the wrong information, you will not be able to access your account. To avoid getting stuck at this point, don&#8217;t navigate away from the page. In the login fields, click &#8220;Forgot your password?&#8221; Next, select &#8220;Continue&#8221; or tap &#8220;Continue&#8221; to finalize the change.<\/p>\n<p>To change your Facebook password on your desktop, first sign in and then click on the settings menu. On the next screen, click the &#8220;Forgot Your Password?&#8221; link. In the confirmation dialog box, enter the new password twice and click the &#8220;Stay logged in&#8221; button. A new password will appear. To save the new password, choose the option that allows you to log in and continue using Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Once you log into Facebook, click on the arrow that points downwards on the top right corner of the screen. Then, select &#8220;Settings&#8221; from the drop-down menu. Click Security and Login in the left side of the screen. From here, choose &#8220;Change Your Password.&#8221; You&#8217;ll be prompted to enter the new password. Finally, click &#8220;Save Changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_Facebook_password_on_scheduled_intervals\"><\/span>How to change your Facebook password on scheduled intervals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your Facebook password on a scheduled basis, first log in to your account. Then, click on the small arrow at the top-right corner of the page. Choose Security and Login, and then click on the Change Password option. Enter your old password and new one, and then click &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; to make your change permanent. Your new password will appear in place of the old one on the next login.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use a tool to reset your old password. First, you can find your old password by clicking on the arrow in the bottom-left corner of the window. Click on &#8220;No longer have access to these things?&#8221; Then, click on &#8220;This is my account,&#8221; and you&#8217;ll be presented with your profile photo and instructions. Once you&#8217;ve done that, your Facebook password will be changed automatically on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your password is especially important if you use public social networking sites like Facebook. Certain types of accounts are more vulnerable to hacking. If your child sister has your password, you may not realize it until months or even years later. The tabloid press can be just as likely to have your password if you&#8217;re a celebrity. So, the longer you wait, the less secure your account will become.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_Facebook_password_helps_keep_your_online_presence_secure\"><\/span>Changing your Facebook password helps keep your online presence secure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your Facebook password is an important step to ensuring the security of your account. It is a simple but effective method to protect your online presence. However, you can make it more secure by enabling two-factor authentication. In this way, users have to enter a code generated by a mobile phone or by a dedicated app in order to get access to their account. Adding two-factor authentication to your account will also make it harder for others to steal your data. One recent incident revealed that Facebook was using people&#8217;s mobile phone numbers to sell advertising.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your Facebook password is a good idea regardless of the size of your account. The service is notorious for storing a large amount of personal data and has faced a huge number of privacy scandals in recent years. This is the first place that hackers will turn when they are looking for information on a person. Therefore, you should change your password regularly. This will make your account more secure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change My Facebook Password The first step when securing your Facebook account is changing your password.
