What are the different ways to log in to Facebook?

Facebook offers several sign-in methods depending on how you created your account or which device you’re using.

  • Log in to Facebook with your email address: Enter the email linked to your Facebook account and your password.
  • Log in to Faccebook with your mobile phone number: If your phone number is connected to your account, use it instead of your email.

Tip: Always check that you’re on the official Facebook website before entering your login details. Look for the padlock icon and make sure the address is correct.
