How to Change Your Facebook Password

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of changing your Facebook password. It's essential to update your password regularly to ensure the security of your account. Follow the instructions below to change your Facebook password:

Step 1: Log in to Facebook

To begin, open your preferred web browser and go to the Facebook website. Enter your registered email address or phone number and your current password in the provided fields. Click on the "Log In" button to access your Facebook account.

Step 2: Go to Settings

Once you are logged in, look for the small downward-facing arrow in the top-right corner of the Facebook page. Click on it to open a dropdown menu. From the menu, select the "Settings" option.

Step 3: Access Security and Login Settings

On the left-hand side of the Settings page, you will see a list of options. Locate and click on the "Security and Login" option. This will open the Security and Login settings page.

Step 4: Change Your Password

In the Security and Login settings page, scroll down until you find the "Change Password" section. Click on the "Edit" button next to the Password field.

Step 5: Enter Your Current and New Password

A popup window will appear, prompting you to enter your current password and your new password. In the first field, type your current Facebook password. In the next field, enter your new password. Facebook provides a password strength meter to help you create a strong and secure password. Aim for a unique combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Step 6: Confirm Password Change

After entering your current and new passwords, retype your new password in the "Re-type New Password" field to confirm it. Make sure you type it accurately and double-check for any typos.

Step 7: Save Changes

Once you have entered and confirmed your new password, click on the "Save Changes" button to update your Facebook password.

Step 8: Log Out and Log In

After saving your new password, you will be directed back to the Settings page. To apply the changes, log out of your Facebook account and then log in using your new password. This step ensures that your updated password is active and can be used to log in to your account.

Congratulations! You have successfully changed your Facebook password. It's essential to keep your password secure and avoid using it for other accounts. Consider using a password manager to help you create and store unique passwords for all your online accounts.
