How to Log in to Facebook:

Do you want to get in on the Facebook scene? In order to start using Facebook you’ll need an account. Once you have your account, you can log into your Facebook profile from any computer or mobile device, anywhere in the world. See Step 1 below to learn how.

Method 1Using a Computer
1. Open the Facebook homepage. Use your web browser and navigate to the Facebook home page. If you are not already logged in, you will see the welcome screen.

2.Enter your email address. In the upper-right corner of the Facebook home page, there will be a field for your email address. Enter the email address you used to create your Facebook account.
If you don’t have a Facebook account, see this guide to create one.
If you have a phone number associated with your account, you can log in with it as well.

3. Enter your password. You will need to enter your password that you created in order to log in. If you forgot your password, click the “I forgot my password” link below the sign-in fields.


4. Choose whether or not you want you want to stay logged in. If you are using your own computer, you may want to check the “Keep me logged in” box. This will bypass the logon process in the future and take you straight to your news feed. If you are on a public or shared computer, you should leave this unchecked for privacy reasons.


5. Click “Log In”. You should be taken directly to your news feed. If you have login verification enabled, you will need to enter the code that Facebook sends to your phone.

Method 2Using a Mobile Device


1. Download the Facebook app. Almost all smartphones and tablets can download the Facebook app from their respective app stores. This app will allow you to log into Facebook without having to use your browser.
If you don’t want to use the app, you can use your phone’s browser and visit the Facebook mobile page.

If you forgot your password, click the link below the sign in boxes and follow the instructions to have it reset.
You will automatically be logged in when you open the app next time. If you don’t want to stay logged in, you will need to sign out of the app from the menu.


4. Tap "Sign In." When you do, you'll be logged into your Facebook account!

Why do I suddenly have to type my email and password every time I log into Facebook when I have had my account for years?

Community Answer
This may have something to do with cookies being turned off in your browser. Cookies are little bits of data that a website stores on your computer so certain information is available every time you visit. This often includes login info. It could also be that someone else is using the same computer and logging you out.
