There are ways to reset your Facebook password, including searching for the account&#8217;s email address or phone number. You can also use the search feature in Facebook to find your username. To use this method, you need to have your username or email address handy. When searching for a username, type the full name and email address to find a match.

However, if your emergency contact isn&#8217;t reliable, don&#8217;t add them to the list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_password_on_a_regular_schedule\"><\/span>Change your password on a regular schedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your password on social media accounts on a regular basis is essential for your security. Facebook and other social networks tie your identity to your personal data. You should change your password at least once every six months, turn on two-factor authentication, and sign out of your accounts when you use a public computer. But too often can make things worse. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to secure your Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your password is easy. Just follow these steps: First, log in to your Facebook account, then click &#8220;Change Your Password&#8221; and follow the prompts. You will have to confirm the password again. In addition, a good password is just one part of keeping your Facebook account secure. You can also use password managers to keep track of the passwords you need to change. If you find it hard to remember passwords, use a password manager to help you remember them.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxesfIu5otQ\" height=\"252\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Password in Facebook If you have forgotten your Facebook password, this article will show you how to reset it.
