If you use Facebook Messenger daily, keeping your login credentials secure is essential. Whether you suspect someone else has access, or you simply want to strengthen your account, changing your Messenger password is quick and straightforward. Since Messenger connects directly to your Facebook account, you’ll update it through Facebook’s main settings.
