Facebook login not possible - this may be the reason

There are several reasons why your Facebook login may not work. Usually only minor errors cause the problem, which you can fix yourself. In some cases, a failed login attempt has more serious causes. We will show you what it can be and how you can regain access to your Facebook account.

Problems and solutions with the Facebook login

If you cannot log in to your Facebook account, go through the following:

1. The most common cause is typing errors in your email address or password. It is best to enter both completely again and try to log in again.
2. The Caps Lock key is also accidentally pressed and you write everything in capital letters. Since passwords are case sensitive, Facebook recognizes your password as wrong. Make sure the Caps Lock key is inactive.
3. If your password is still not accepted, you can simply request a new password using this link. You will receive your new password by email. You should then set up a new password in the Facebook settings.
4. However, your account could also be blocked due to rule violations. Check your email inbox. If you have been blocked, you will receive an email from Facebook informing you of the reason and duration of the block.
5. In rare cases, Facebook accounts are also hacked. This is probably the case if the previous points do not apply to you and have not helped you further. In this case, you should immediately notify Facebook via this link. Facebook will then help you regain your account.
6. Facebook is very rarely simply offline and therefore cannot be reached by anyone. This may be due to server problems or maintenance work. These usually end after a few minutes.
