You can find your Facebook password in the password manager that saved your login, or reset it through Facebook’s account recovery process. Start with the phone or browser you normally use for Facebook, open its saved Facebook entry, and authenticate to reveal the password.

A saved login must already exist for you to retrieve it. If the first password manager is empty, check another device, browser profile, or account before moving to recovery.

The short version

  • Android: Search for Password Manager in Settings, then open your saved Facebook entry.
  • Apple devices: Open the Passwords app, authenticate, and select Facebook.
  • Browsers: Open the password manager in the browser profile where you saved your Facebook login.
  • No usable password: Use Facebook’s guided recovery process, preferably from a familiar device and location.

Find your Facebook password on Android

Open Settings, search for Password Manager, and select Password Manager. Find the Facebook entry, authenticate, and reveal the saved password. Your phone’s settings layout can vary, so use the search field to locate the manager.

For a password saved to your Google Account, open Google Password Manager in a browser. Sign in to the Google Account used to save the login, select Facebook, and authenticate to reveal its password. A password stored only in another device’s local browser profile will not appear there.

If you use Samsung Pass, open Samsung Wallet and tap Menu. Under Samsung Pass, select Sign-in info, authenticate with your fingerprint, and locate Facebook among the saved credentials. On supported Galaxy devices, you can also open Settings > Security and Privacy > More security settings > Samsung Pass. Samsung says screens vary by model and software.

Find your Facebook password on iPhone or Mac

On an iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 18 or later, open the Passwords app. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode, choose All, and select Facebook to view the saved login. Check the relevant shared group if that is where you saved it.

On a Mac running macOS Sequoia 15 or later, open Passwords and authenticate with Touch ID or your Mac account password. Select Facebook, choosing All if a group filter hides the entry. If you saved the login in Chrome or another password manager, check that manager instead.

If you cannot find the entry, open Deleted within the Passwords app. Check for Facebook before resetting your account password, since a deleted entry may still be recoverable.

Look up the saved login in Chrome

On a computer, open Chrome’s More menu, then choose Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager. Under Passwords, select Facebook and click Show password. Complete device authentication when requested.

On Android, open Chrome’s More > Settings > Autofill and passwords > Google Password Manager. Select Facebook, authenticate, and tap Show password.

On an iPhone or iPad, open Chrome’s More > Settings > Autofill and passwords > Password Manager. Select Facebook and tap Show password, completing authentication. If Facebook is missing, check the browser profile or Google Account that originally saved it.

Check Edge or Firefox for your password

In Microsoft Edge, open the three-dot menu and choose Settings > Passwords and autofill > Microsoft Password Manager. Select the arrow beside Facebook, authenticate with your device PIN or password when requested, and select the eye icon. If you previously synchronized passwords from Microsoft Authenticator, sign in to Edge with the same Microsoft account to access them.

On desktop Firefox, open the Firefox menu and select Passwords. Search for Facebook, select the entry, and click the eye icon to reveal the password or Copy to copy it. Complete operating-system or Primary Password authentication when required.

On Android, open Firefox’s three-dot menu and select Passwords. Unlock when prompted, then select Facebook to view or copy the login. If your interface uses the alternate route, open Settings > Passwords > Saved passwords.

On an iPhone or iPad, open the Firefox menu and choose Settings > Autofills & Passwords. Under Saved Passwords, select Facebook, tap Edit, and then tap the password field to reveal the stored password.

Open the password manager you already use

With the 1Password browser extension, unlock your vault, find Facebook, and select the login. Open the chevron beside the password and choose Reveal. If your search comes up empty, check the vault where you originally saved the account.

In Bitwarden’s web vault, sign in and open the Facebook login item. Use the copy icon beside Password to retrieve the stored value.

For Proton Pass, open its web app or choose Proton Pass from another Proton web app’s app switcher. Select the Facebook item to access the saved login.

If you use Apple passwords on Windows, open iCloud Passwords and sign in. This requires iCloud Passwords to be configured through iCloud for Windows. Select Facebook and use the copy button, or right-click the password and choose the copy command.

Fix missing or outdated saved passwords

If you cannot find Facebook, check another browser profile, the cloud account you used at the time, another device, and any authorized shared group or vault. A password saved locally on one device may be absent from the cloud account you are checking.

If your saved Facebook password fails, the entry may be outdated. Password history can help when you overwrote the stored entry without successfully changing Facebook’s password. Editing a password-manager entry alone does not change your Facebook account password.

On a current iPhone, open Passwords > All > your Facebook entry > View History. Tap the password button to reveal a historical value.

In 1Password, select Facebook, open the password field’s menu, and choose View password history. Select a previous password, then choose Reveal or Copy. Historical passwords can be outdated too, so move to recovery if none provides access.

Use a saved passkey to sign in

If you already have a Facebook passkey, you can use it to sign in without recalling your password. When Facebook offers the saved passkey at sign-in, authenticate with your device’s fingerprint, face recognition, or PIN. You need an existing passkey on a compatible iOS or Android device.

Signing in with a passkey does not display your old password. Autofill can also sign you in using an existing saved login without requiring you to read or type it. If you only need access to Facebook, either option may be enough.

Reset your password through Facebook recovery

When no saved password or passkey gets you in, select Forgot password? on Facebook’s login screen, enter the email address, mobile phone number, full name or username on your account, and select Search. Use a device and location previously used for the account, then follow the recovery options presented. Meta adapts the sequence to your account’s circumstances, so complete the verification and password-reset instructions shown on your screen.

If you have lost access to the account’s email address or phone number, open Meta’s Account Recovery Hub. For Facebook, Meta’s help for this situation says to try facebook.com/hacked first, even if you aren’t sure your account was compromised. If that doesn’t work, go to facebook.com/login/identify on a device you’ve used to log in before, find your account, select No longer have access to these? (or Forgot account? or Recover), and follow the prompts to confirm the account is yours and reset your password.

If the recovery flow requests a video selfie or ID, follow the instructions it presents. This option is available only in eligible recovery cases. Facial-recognition verification requires your consent, and Meta may use manual review or another verification method instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Siri find a saved Facebook password?

Yes, you can ask Siri to show your saved passwords or find the password for a particular website. Authenticate when prompted, then select Facebook if needed.

Can you still view Facebook passwords in Microsoft Authenticator?

You can no longer view saved passwords inside Microsoft Authenticator; access ended in August 2025. Use Edge with the Microsoft account that held your synchronized passwords. The retirement applies to password storage and autofill, not Authenticator’s separate authentication-code feature.

Does uninstalling the Google Password Manager app delete saved passwords?

No, uninstalling the Android shortcut app does not remove your cloud-stored credentials. The app provides a shortcut to Android’s existing password manager.

How many previous Facebook passwords can Bitwarden show?

You can review the last five saved passwords for a login in Bitwarden. Open the Facebook item and select Password history to see the stored previous values.

Can Meta’s AI support assistant reset your Facebook password?

You can request a password reset through Meta’s AI support assistant where it is available. In Facebook, open Help & Settings, select the assistant, and ask it to reset your password. Complete the verification and confirmation steps it presents. Logged-out assistance is limited to eligible cases, initially in the US and Canada.
