Make a strong Facebook password
Learn how to change your Facebook password.
When you create a new password, remember:
- Your password should be easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
- Your Facebook password should be different than the passwords you use to log into other accounts, like your email or bank account.
- Longer passwords are usually more secure.
- Your password should not be your email, phone number or birthday.
- Avoid using common words, like “Password”.
- Use a password manager. There are many different applications that can store your passwords securely.
- Don't share your passwords with anyone, online or in person. If you do, change them as soon as possible.
If your password isn't strong enough, mix uppercase and lowercase letters. Make it more complex by using a longer phrase or series of words that you can remember but others won't know.
