Access your Facebook account with 3 passwords:-
Do
you know that you can login to your Facebook account using 3 different
passwords?
Yep! Unlike any other online account which has only one password to access, Facebook lets you log in using 3 different variants of your password.
Yep! Unlike any other online account which has only one password to access, Facebook lets you log in using 3 different variants of your password.
Only
a few Facebook users are aware of this fact but, for many others this
might seem a bit surprising. Facebook accepts the following forms of
your password:
1st password you have is your Original Password
Let
us take an example. Assume that your
default Facebook password that you created during the sign-up process
is:
2nd Password is the one with the Case Toggled
In the above password the letters ‘F’ and ‘P’ are in uppercase and the remaining are in the lowercase. If you TOGGLE the case
where all the UPPERCASE characters are converted into the lowercase and
vice versa, your default password “myFacebookPass” would become:
Now
if you log in using the above toggled password, your Facebook will
accept it and welcomes you! This is the first variation of your default
password which is accepted by Facebook.
3rd password is the password with the First Letter Capitalized
If
the first character of your password is in the lowercase, you may just
change that first letter to UPPERCASE and Facebook will again accept it
and let you in. As in case of the above example where your default
password is “myFacebookPass”, if you just change the first letter to UPPERCASE your password would be “MyFacebookPass” and this should work fine as well:
Please note that this option will work for Mobile users only!
Why does facebook allows 3 Passwords?
Now,
you all know that Facebook can be accessed using 3 different passwords.
But you may be curious to know the actual reason behind it.
Well,
this is definitely not because Facebook has a bug or a serious
vulnerability. In fact this is just an option provided by Facebook
itself to make the sign-in process easier for the users. Here’s how:
The
most common reason for the authentic logins to be rejected is when the
CAPS LOCK is ON. This is where the first variation comes in
handy. That means, when the CAPS LOCK is ON the case gets reversed
(toggled) for your password but Facebook will accept this as well.
In
case of mobile, users it is a common for the first letter of the
password to get capitalized which often leads to the login failure. So,
in order to tackle this issue, Facebook will also accept the password
where only the first letter is capitalized.
Thus if the CAPS LOCK is accidentally enabled, the toggled password feature would still let you log in to your account!
