Logging in to Your Facebook Account Without a Password or Username

Here are step-by-step instructions to getting back into your Facebook profile:

  1. Go to the homepage.
  2. Under the login box, you will see a link that says, "Forgot Password?"
  3. Click this.
  4. A box will pop up. It will say, "Find your account."
  5. There are several methods for retrieving your Facebook login information—Facebook prompts you to enter either your email or your phone number. Your username also works and can be found on your profile URL, or you can enter your full name.

What to Do If You Are Locked Out of Your Facebook Account

So if you have forgotten your user ID and/or password, you can retrieve your login details here:

  1. Type either your email address or phone number into the search box. If you have multiple email accounts associated with your Facebook profile, you can use any of them to reconnect to your account.
  2. Click "Search."
  3. Your profile will pop up, giving you the option to send a code via email or SMS.
  4. Facebook will email or text you a six-digit account recovery code.
  5. If you choose to receive the code via email, you can either enter the code into your browser or select "Change Password" directly from the email. If you receive the code via text, you simply receive an SMS with a security code.
  6. Both options prompt you to reset your password after entering the code, but you can choose to skip this option and go directly to your account.
  7. To ensure your account's security, if you log in via this route, you will receive a confirmation email containing the date, time, IP address, and location where you logged into your account.

Why Was My Facebook Account Disabled—Was It Hacked?

If your account was disabled, it's likely you were in violation of Facebook's terms and conditions. You'll need to contact Facebook directly to request a review of your account.

If you were hacked, you'll need to change your password, update your security information, and report your profile to Facebook as compromised.

Avoid Getting Locked Out of Your Facebook Account

There are a few steps you can take to ensure you don't get locked out of your Facebook account again.

Write Down Your Password

Write down your login information (email address and password) somewhere so you don't lose it.

Enable Saving Your Login Information

Here's how to ensure Facebook saves your login information on select browsers so that you don't need to remember your password every time you log in:

  1. Go to your account settings, then click on "Security and Login."
  2. Under "Login," double-check to make sure "Save your login info" is turned on or enable it if it's not turned on. When this setting is enabled, you will be prompted to save your login information whenever you log in to a new browser.

In 2006, Facebook.com was launched and available to anyone in the world who was 13 years old and over and had a valid email address. Mark Zuckerberg became one of the youngest billionaires in the world. His estimated worth was over $100 billion in 2021.
