How to secure your account | Change Password

Securing your account should be important to you because it represents you, and you should be the only person who has access to it. If someone gains access to your account, or creates an account to pretend to be you or someone else, Facebook's team could help but you need to help yourself first.

If you think your account has been hacked, you should visit this link https://web.facebook.com/hacked to secure your account. From there, you'll be asked you to change your password and review recent login activity.

Your account may have been hacked if you notice that:

• Your email or password have changed
• Your name or birthday have changed
• Friend requests have been sent to people you don't know
• Messages have been sent that you didn't write
• Posts have been made that you didn't create

So, here's how to secure your Facebook Account by changing your password

On Your Application

1. Login to your Facebook account.
2. Select the Menu ☰ button located at the upper-right corner.
3. Scroll down and select “Account settings“.
4. Choose "Security and Login".
5. Scroll down and select "Change Password".
6. Fill in the "Current password", "New password" and "Re-type New password" fields.
7. Select the “Save changes” button when you’re done.

On Your Browser
