To safeguard user privacy, the Facebook login process
requires the input of an email address, username or mobile number as well as a
password.
While you may opt for the "Remember Me" and
"Remember My Password" features on your personal device, there may be
times when you need to manually log in to your account.
If you're not able to locate your account from the login
page, there are several steps you can take to recover it.
Invalid or Expired Email Address
1. If you no
longer have access to the email address that is linked to your Facebook account
because it is invalid or expired, locate your account by logging in with an
alternative.
If you registered a username, enter it in the
"Email" field on the login page.
Enter your password and select the "Login" button.
If unsuccessful, type your mobile phone number in the "Email" field
on the login page.
Enter your password and select the "Login" button.
This will work if you've registered for Facebook texts.
If unsuccessful, type an alternate email address in the
"Email" field on the login page.
Enter your password and select the "Login" button.
If you are still unable to identify your account, complete
and submit the "I Cannot Identify My Account" report, which you'll
find at facebook.com/help.
Click "Browse Help Center Topics" in the left
column. Click the "Login & Password" option under "Managing
Your Account."
Click on "I Can't Remember Which Email Address I Use To
Log In To Facebook" and click the link in option 5.
Click the "I Can't Identify My Account" link in
the lower-left corner of the resulting page to access the report.
2 . After
you've logged in, click the "Account Settings" option that appears in
the "Account" drop-down menu in the upper-right corner of any page.
3. Click
the "Change" link next to the "Email" option of the
"Settings" tab.
View your current email settings and edit as desired to
manage email addresses that can be used for login.
Invalid Password
4. Visit facebook.com/recover.php in your
browser.
5. Enter your email address or mobile phone
number in the "Email or Phone" field that appears at the top of the
page or enter your Facebook username in the space provided.
If you don't know the email address, mobile phone number or
username that is associated with your account, type your name and the name of a
friend in the spaces provided at the bottom of the page and click
"Search."
6. Type the
words that appear in the resulting security box to authenticate your request
and click "Submit."
