Forgetting your Facebook password can be a frustrating experience. However, if you’ve moved beyond the point of frustration and you’re at a loss for what to do next, there’s no need to worry. This blog post explains how you can recover your Facebook password using your Gmail account.
Please note:
It’s essential to clarify that it’s not possible to directly know or ‘hack’ a Facebook password using Gmail or any other platforms. The following steps will guide you on how to reset your forgotten Facebook password using your Gmail account.
Guide to Recovering Your Facebook Password
Step 1: Access the Facebook Login Page
Firstly, go to Facebook’s login page. You will see two boxes for ‘Email or phone’ and ‘Password’. Since you cannot remember your password, click on the ‘Forgotten password?’ link below these boxes.
Step 2: Enter Your Email ID
In the next window, you will be prompted to enter your email or phone number. Type in the Gmail account that you use for Facebook, and then click ‘Search’.
Step 3: Select Your Gmail Account
Facebook will then search for any accounts linked to that email address. If an account exists, you will see your profile picture and account name. Confirm that this is your account.
Step 4: Reset Your Password
Next, Facebook will offer several methods to recover your account. Select ‘Send code via email’, then click ‘Continue’. You will receive a security code in your Gmail inbox.
Step 5: Enter the Security Code
Open a new tab, go to your Gmail, and open the new email from Facebook. Note down the security code, then go back to the Facebook tab and enter this code in the space provided, then click ‘Continue’.
Step 6: Create a New Password
After entering the correct security code, you will be directed to create a new password. Make sure you create a strong and unique password that you can easily remember. Once you’ve confirmed your new password, click ‘Continue’ to finish the process.
Conclusion
As you can see, recovering your Facebook password using Gmail is straightforward. However, always remember that protecting your password is crucial. Avoid sharing it with anyone and regularly update it to enhance your account’s security.
