What should you do if you forget your Facebook password?

If you can’t remember your current password and your browser or phone doesn’t autofill it, you can still change it through Facebook’s password reset process. Here’s how.

On the website
1. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
2. Choose “Settings & privacy” from the drop-down menu.
3. Click “Settings.” This takes you to the “General profile settings” page.
4. Select “Password and security” in the left sidebar. It has a shield icon next to it.
5. Under “Login & recovery,” click “Change password.”
6. Click “Forgot your password?” in blue text. Facebook will prompt you to send a code to the email address or mobile number associated with your Facebook account.
7. Select one of the options, and click “Continue.”
8. Don’t close the window in your browser. Open a new tab and log in to your email. The code may take a few minutes to arrive, so don’t worry if you don’t immediately see it in your inbox.
9. Once you receive the code, head back to Facebook.
10. Enter the code and click “Continue.”
11. Enter a new password. Then, choose “Continue” to confirm the password reset.

You can now log in to your Facebook account with your new password.

On the app

1. Open the Facebook app on your iOS or Android device.
2. Click on your profile picture in the bottom-right corner to open the main menu.
3. Scroll down, and tap “Settings.”
4. Tap “Password and security.”
5. Click “Change password.”
6. Click “Forgot your password?”
7. Facebook will prompt you to send a code to the associated email address or phone number to reset your password.
8. Choose one of the options, and tap “Continue.”
9. Without closing Facebook, open a new tab and find the code in your email inbox. It may take a few minutes to arrive.
10. Go back to Facebook after receiving the code. Enter the code and hit “Continue.”

That confirms your new password, which you can now use to log in to your Facebook account.
