- Facebook is the most popular social networking website, with over 200 million active users. Over 100 million users log on to Facebook at least once per day, and, worldwide, more than 3.5 million minutes are spent on the site every day. This guide will teach you how to login to Facebook and troubleshoot some problems you might encounter in the login process.
Introduction
- Thanks to the functionality of the site, logging in to Facebook is a simple process which requires only the username and password that you created when you signed up. However, from time to time people do encounter login problems. This guide will help you go step by step through the login process, even if you have lost/forgotten your login e-mail address or password.
Step 1: Go to Facebook.com
- The easiest way to access Facebook is to enter its specific URL: www.facebook.com. You can also find it by entering "facebook" into a search engine and clicking on the first link.
Step 2: Enter Your Login Information
- The front page of Facebook.com has a dark blue bar at the top of the screen. On the right side of the bar are two dialog boxes. On the left dialog box, type in the e-mail address that you used to sign up for the account. On the left, enter the password that you created when creating your membership, then click the "Login" button.
Step 3: Using "Remember Me"
- There is a "Remember Me" box that you can check if you want your computer to save your login information and log you in automatically the next time you visit the site. It is not generally advised to use this function if working on a public computer, such as a shared work computer or library computer.
Step 4: Resolving Errors
- There are several reasons for problems with logging into Facebook, and even tiny errors will result in failure. Some of the problems include:
- Entering the wrong e-mail address or password. This is the most common problem with entering the site, and commonly occurs when a user has multiple e-mail accounts and cannot remember which account was used to sign up for Facebook. Make sure you are using the same address and password that was used when you initialized the account, and retype it if necessary.
- Having your "Caps Lock" turned on. Login information for Facebook is case sensitive, so make sure that the capital letter lock key on the keyboard is not turned on.
- Forgotten password. If you have forgotten your password, there is a "Forgot your password?" link above the login tabs on the front page. If you click on this, it will take you to a page where you can enter your e-mail address. Facebook will send you a message with a link to reset your password. If the e-mail does not show up, check your Spam folder, as the automated e-mail may end up being misread as spam.
- Forgotten/unreachable e-mail account. If you have forgotten the e-mail address that you used to sign up for Facebook, or you no longer have access to the e-mail address that you used when you set up the account, you can access a login help page at http://www.facebook.com/help/login.php. On this page, enter your full name, date of birth and contact e-mail, and Facebook's Help Center will resolve your issue.
