Today, I’m going to show you how to quickly change your Facebook account password on your Android phone.

If you’d prefer to watch this rather then reading, scroll down and click on the play > button on the video below. If you’d rather read, scroll past the video.

STEP 1:

The first thing you want to do is make sure that you have the Facebook app downloaded on your phone. If you don’t already have the Facebook app, go to your Google Play Store. (Though these instructions are for Android users, if you are an iPhone user and want to follow along, you need to download Facebook from your App Store on your iPhone. Just know that the instructions will most likely not be exact.)

Once you are in your Play Store, type Facebook in the search bar. You will see in the screenshot below, I have a green button on my phone that says ‘Open.’ Your button will say ‘Install’ if you don’t already have the Facebook app installed on your Android. Click on Install. If you see the ‘Open’ button, click on it to get to your Facebook app.

Now that you have the Facebook app installed on your Android phone, go ahead and click on the blue circular Facebook app icon that you see in the upper left-hand corner in the screenshot below. If you clicked on the ‘Open’ button in step 1, please skip to step 3.
