In this guide we'll show you exactly how to change password on Facebook, using either the desktop site or the mobile app.

  • Stay secure with one of the best password managers

1. On PC and Mac, follow steps 1 though 3 as they're given above. On Android and iOS, again follow steps 1 through 3. You'll need to be on the settings page on which you'd enter and retype a new password.
