Typically, they require that your password include at least one capital letter, one number or special character, and be a certain length. Facebook is no exception, but its requirements are pretty lax compared to other websites. As of August 2022, your Facebook password must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be six characters long<\/li>\n<li>Contain at least one number or special character.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s it \u2014 if you wanted to make your password \u201caaaaa1\u201d you could, but you shouldn\u2019t.

Reusing passwords in that way increases the risk to all of your accounts if one account is compromised. You should use a password manager if you don\u2019t want to worry about memorizing a bunch of different passwords yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Why You Should Use a Password Manager, and How to Get Started<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_Your_Facebook_Password_on_the_Web\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Change Your Facebook Password on the Web<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Start by logging into the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\">Facebook website<\/a> and then select the drop-down arrow in the top-right corner and choose \u201cSettings &amp; Privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-768765\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/click-on-the-drop-down-arrow-and-select-settings-privacy.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"402\" height=\"436\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Click the \u201cSettings\u201d option from the following menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-768768\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/click-the-settings-option.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"380\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now select \u201cSecurity and Login\u201d from the left sidebar and then click \u201cChange Password\u201d from the Login section.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-768772\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/select-security-and-login-and-then-click-change-password.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"268\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Enter your current password and your new password twice.
