Forgot Facebook password - what to do?

If you ever forget your Facebook password, it is no problem to request a new one. Here's how to do it.

Reset Facebook password

If you have forgotten your password, you must have it reset. To do this, start the browser and go to Facebook.

1. In the login area you will find the link "Forgot your password?" Under the window for your login data. Click on it.
2. On the next page, look for your account. To do this, you have to provide certain information. They start the search with your email, your username, your telephone number or your full name.
3. A security check may now follow. Enter the given code and confirm it. You will now see whether your account could be found. If not, try again with one of the other details.
4. Depending on the account type, you will now be asked to enter the name of one of your friends; this step may also be omitted (e.g. if you have given a GMail account as a reference). After successful confirmation, indicate whether the confirmation code should be sent to your email address or to your mobile phone.
5. After entering the code, you will be redirected. You can assign and confirm a new password on the following page. Facebook will also confirm the password change by email to your reference mail account.

For safety reasons, you should select the "Log me out of other devices" item. This means that an unauthorized user is automatically logged out of your account, no longer has access and only your new password is valid.
