Password Tips:

• Use a different password than the ones you use for other sites or services
• Make sure your password is long and strong: use a combination of at least 6 numbers, letters and punctuation marks
• Don't use words found in the dictionary

When you create a new password, make sure that it's at least 6 characters long. Try to use a complex combination of numbers, letters, and punctuation marks. If the password you entered isn't strong enough, try mixing together uppercase and lowercase letters or making the password longer.

The password you create should be easy for you to remember but hard for someone else to figure out. For extra security, your Facebook password should be different than other passwords that you use to log in to other places, like your email or bank account.

Anyone with access to your email account can request a new password for your Facebook account. You can help keep your Facebook account safe by changing the password to your email account. Make sure that all of the passwords you use are different.

To change your login email password (ex: your Gmail password):

1. Go to your email account
2. Find your account settings
3. Change your password
