In any situation where you've forgotten your password, such as your Facebook password, there's a way to recover it using your browser. Firefox, like many others, has a built-in password management feature that lets you store and retrieve passwords for Gmail, Facebook, or other services whenever necessary.
In this article, we're specifically focusing on finding your Facebook password on Firefox. We'll utilize the Firefox password viewing feature, a not-so-secret function, to retrieve the password. However, this only works if you've previously logged into your Facebook account using Firefox.
Guide to Finding Your Facebook Password on Firefox
Step 1: To find your Facebook password on Firefox, first, you need to go to Options after clicking on Settings with the three horizontal lines icon.
Step 2: Next, click on the Security tab and select Saved Logins.
Step 3: Here, simply enter the service you want to find the password for. Since we're looking for the Facebook password on Firefox, type Facebook, and the account names will appear.
Step 4: However, Firefox doesn't allow you to display passwords; you can only copy them. This is one of the differences compared to other browsers.
However, you can still use the copied password to paste it into a text file such as Word or even Notepad, where it will be displayed for you.
With the guide above, you've learned another way to find your Facebook password on Firefox. Although you can't directly see the password due to security measures, you can still use other applications to view the password like we did with Notepad in the image above. This may be one of the weaknesses that need to be addressed in upcoming versions.
In case you need to find your Facebook password but not on Firefox, rather on Google Chrome, you can easily view the password on Chrome. Through our guide on viewing passwords on Chrome, you can make a comparison to see how security on Google Chrome differs from Firefox.
Facebook passwords are crucial for users. If they're compromised, not only do you risk losing your account, but your loved ones could also be at risk of scams. Therefore, it's important to change your Facebook password regularly, especially after logging in on public computers or internet cafes. Choose strong, complex passwords to mitigate the worst-case scenario.
