Forgetting your Facebook password can feel like a nightmare — especially when it’s your main login for Messenger, business pages, or even other connected apps. The good news? Resetting your Facebook password is fast, easy, and secure. In this guide, I’ll walk you through every step so you can get back into your account in no time.

Facebook’s password recovery process is designed to help you recover access safely without losing your data or settings.

Here’s how to reset it step-by-step:

1. Go to the Facebook Login Page
Visit facebook.com and click Forgotten password? below the login fields.

2. Enter Your Account Details
Type your email, phone number, or username associated with your account, then hit Search.

3. Select a Recovery Option
You’ll be given choices like email or SMS to receive a reset link or code. Choose your preferred method.

4. Retrieve the Code or Link
Check your email inbox or text messages for Facebook’s reset instructions.

5. Create a New Password
Click the link, then set a new, strong password. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols for added security.

6. Log Back Into Your Account
Once done, you’ll be redirected to your profile — safe and sound.

Pro Tips:

  • Use a password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password to prevent future lockouts.

  • Review your active sessions in Settings → Security and Login to remove any unfamiliar devices.

  • Turn on two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security.

Bonus:
If you no longer have access to your registered email or phone, click No longer have access to these? on the reset page. Facebook will walk you through an identity verification process to recover your account.

Forgetting your password doesn’t have to mean losing access. With just a few quick steps, you’ll be back to connecting, sharing, and scrolling through your feed in minutes.
