Almost everyone has been asked this question at some point in their life. While a good password is always a good idea, it&#8217;s only part of the equation for a secure Facebook account. Here are some ways to make the process as easy as possible, both for desktop computers and mobile devices. And if you can&#8217;t remember the old password, try using a password manager.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_own_Facebook_password\"><\/span>How to change your own Facebook password<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to change your Facebook password, you&#8217;re not alone. It&#8217;s a common problem among millions of users, but it&#8217;s not difficult to resolve. The social media giant accidentally stored passwords in plain text, and the company failed to reveal the problem until news broke. While passwords weren&#8217;t visible to outsiders, they were searchable by thousands of employees. Here&#8217;s how to change your Facebook password and prevent identity theft.<\/p>\n<p>First, go to your Facebook account and click on the Account icon. From there, click Settings. Enter the new password you wish to use, and then click on the Save Changes button. In the future, you&#8217;ll be prompted to enter a new password. If you don&#8217;t remember your old password, you can also change it using the settings menu. Then, sign into your Facebook account using the new password.<\/p>\n<p>Another method is to recover the original Facebook password. This method requires that you have access to an old email account. Go to Facebook and click on Forgot Password? and enter your e-mail address or mobile phone number. Once you&#8217;ve entered the e-mail address and phone number, you&#8217;ll be given a new password. Finally, you can change your Facebook password again. Just remember to save the new one somewhere safe so you can use it again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_own_Facebook_password_on_desktop\"><\/span>How to change your own Facebook password on desktop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Forget your Facebook password? Here are two methods to recover your account and change your password. First, click the Forgot Account? option in the upper right corner of the website. After entering your e-mail address or mobile number, Facebook will search for your account and show it to you. Next, you must type a new password and confirm it by clicking the &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; button. Your new password will appear in a new window.<\/p>\n<p>To change your Facebook password on desktop, you need to be logged in and go to the settings page. Click on &#8220;forgot password?&#8221; and type in your new password twice. When the new password has been submitted successfully, choose &#8220;Stay logged in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After logging in to your Facebook account, click &#8220;Security.&#8221; You can then click &#8220;Settings&#8221; in the lower right corner of the page. Next, click &#8220;Security&#8221; and follow the directions to secure your Facebook account. If you use a weak password, you risk being hacked. Changing your Facebook password regularly will protect your account and prevent identity theft. You can follow the steps outlined in this guide to update your password.<\/p>\n<p>To reset your Facebook account password on desktop, you need to have an email address or mobile phone number. Facebook will send a verification code to your new email or mobile phone. You should save the new password somewhere safe and secure. To do this, you can use a good password manager. The best password manager will also allow you to store multiple passwords in one place. Changing your Facebook password on desktop is easy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_own_Facebook_password_on_mobile\"><\/span>How to change your own Facebook password on mobile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Having forgotten your Facebook password? You&#8217;re not the only one. It happens to the best of us! If you have forgotten your password, you can easily reset it through your mobile device. All you have to do is follow a few simple steps to get your account back on track. Then, simply log out of your Facebook account on all of your devices. Then, follow these steps to reset your password:<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to sign in to your Facebook account. From there, choose the settings you want to change. Choose the option you want and click the Change Password button. If you are logged in on other devices, select the option that applies to them. Choose a strong password that contains upper and lower case alphabets, numbers, and symbols. The best passwords also contain consonants. Remember to change your password every 90 days to prevent your account from being hacked.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is to use the Facebook app. Open the Facebook app. Click the menu icon in the bottom right corner and select Settings. In the Settings &amp; Privacy section, tap Passwords and Security. Enter your current password, confirm it, and then tap OK. Finally, tap &#8220;Save&#8221; to save your changes. To make this method effective, remember to log out from your previous session. Also, make sure to log out after you have finished using the app or website.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxesfIu5otQ\" height=\"246\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Password Facebook If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to change password Facebook, you&#8217;re not alone.
