Did you forget your Facebook password? Luckily, you can reset it if you've forgotten it, or, if you're still logged in, you can change it. This wikiHow article teaches you how to change your Facebook password if you're logged into your account on mobile or desktop.

Steps

Using the Facebook Mobile App

Open the Facebook app. It's a blue app with a white f. Log in if you're not signed in automatically.

Tap ☰. This three-line menu icon is in the lower-right on iPhone or upper-right on Android.

Tap Settings & Privacy and Settings. If you're on an iPhone, tap the gear icon first (it's in the upper right corner of your screen), then continue.

Tap Password and Security. It's under the "Account" header near the top of the menu.

Tap Change password. It's under the "Login" header next to an icon of a key.

Enter your current password in the top field. If you don't remember your password, you can reset it or log in with a code if you tap Forgot Password?.

Type a new password in the following field. There are a few steps you can take to make sure your password is secure like using around 12 characters, and incorporating a mix of numbers, letters, and special characters. Confirm the new password by re-typing it in the bottom field.

Tap Update Password. Your Facebook password has been changed.

On Desktop

Go to http://www.facebook.com in a web browser. You can use any web browser like Safari, Firefox, or Chrome to change your Facebook password. Log in if you're not signed in automatically.

Click Android 7 Dropdown. It's in the upper-right corner of the window.

Click Settings & privacy and Settings. These options are next to a gear icon. Once you click Settings & privacy, the menu will change so you can click Settings.

Click Security and Login. You'll see this in the panel on the left side of the browser window.

Click Edit next to "Change Password." You may need to scroll down the page to see this under the "Login" header.

Enter your current password in the top field. If you don't remember your password, you can reset it or log in with a code if you click Forgot your Password?.

Type a new password in the following field. There are a few steps you can take to make sure your password is secure like using around 12 characters and incorporating a mix of numbers, letters, and special characters. Confirm the new password by re-typing it in the bottom field.
