You can reset your password by email or by typing in your current password and hitting the &#8220;Forgot your password?&#8221; link. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you should receive a confirmation code in your inbox. Simply enter your new password into the box and click &#8220;Continue&#8221; or &#8220;Next&#8221; to finalize your password reset. The next step is to update your recovery information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reset_your_Facebook_password\"><\/span>Reset your Facebook password<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To reset your Facebook password, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>First, identify your account: Once you have logged in with your username or email address, you can easily locate your account. If you do not know the email address associated with your Facebook account, use your full name to look up your account. Then, click on &#8216;This is my account&#8217; and follow the instructions that appear on-screen to reset your Facebook password. You should have a backup email and phone number. Make sure to add a friend or family member who has access to both of these details.<\/p>\n<p>If you use a mobile phone, you can easily reset your Facebook password. Then, go to the &#8220;Reset password&#8221; page and enter the new password you have selected. Once you have done this, you can choose to log out of all devices or to stay logged in as the current one. Then, choose a new password and select the login preferences. You can then log back in to Facebook. After this, you&#8217;ll need to confirm your new password.<\/p>\n<p>In order to change your Facebook password, you need to enter your email address or cell number. Alternatively, you can use your Google account. Once you have logged into your Facebook account, click on &#8220;Security and Login&#8221; and choose the option to &#8220;Change password.&#8221; Enter the new password twice to confirm your new one. You&#8217;ll then receive a text message containing a six-digit security code. After entering this security code, enter your new password, and save your changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_account_recovery_information_up_to_date\"><\/span>Keep account recovery information up to date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before changing your Facebook password, make sure that you&#8217;ve updated your account recovery information. This includes your email address and phone number. You can use an American number or one without a country code. Your username can also be used as a recovery method. Make sure that you have the correct information for your Facebook account, so that you can be reached quickly in case you need to change your password. Here&#8217;s how to update your account recovery information:<\/p>\n<p>The first step when changing your Facebook password is to make sure that your email address is correct. If you change your email address, Facebook will send a notice to all email addresses that are associated with your account. If you haven&#8217;t updated your email address, you could become a victim of a hacker. A recovered account means that you&#8217;ll be alerted to a possible breach of your security.<\/p>\n<p>When you change your Facebook password, make sure that you keep your email and phone number updated. This way, if you lose your primary email or phone number, you won&#8217;t be able to access it. You can also link your recovery email to your primary email. Once you&#8217;ve changed your primary email, you can also change your Facebook password using this email. Then, you can use the new email and password to log into your other Facebook accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update_your_Facebook_password_regularly\"><\/span>Update your Facebook password regularly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most important aspects of securing your Facebook account is updating your password regularly. The last time you changed your password was about 90 days ago. Facebook recommends changing your password every 90 days. To change your password, click Edit on the right side of the Password field. Then, enter the old and new passwords and click Save to update your account. Once you&#8217;ve updated your password, you&#8217;re ready to sign in to Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your password is very simple and can be done on any device, including your computer and your mobile phone. It&#8217;s especially important to change your password regularly if you share it with others. The reason to change your password regularly is that weak passwords are more likely to be cracked or stolen by hackers. By changing your password regularly, you significantly reduce your account&#8217;s risk of being hacked. If you can&#8217;t remember your current password, you can also use two-factor authentication.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble remembering your Facebook password, don&#8217;t worry. Facebook makes it easy to reset your password. It only takes a few seconds and will email you a new one. After you&#8217;ve reset your Facebook password, make sure you remember the old one, too. To avoid being forgotten, make sure to re-type your password and click Save Changes. This way, you won&#8217;t be locked out of your Facebook account for any reason.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"492\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxesfIu5otQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Change My Facebook Password?
