You cannot see a Facebook password in mobile within the Facebook app itself, because the platform is designed to protect your privacy by never revealing your current password. The only legitimate way to see a Facebook password in mobile is to look it up in your device’s password manager if it was saved there, or to use Facebook’s official account recovery process to reset it.
Can you really see a Facebook password in mobile?
No. Facebook does not provide any feature that lets you view your current password inside the app or on its website. The company’s documented path for users who do not remember their password is to change or reset it, not to reveal it. There are exactly two legitimate ways to get the password you need: find it in a saved password manager on your phone, or reset it through Facebook’s “Forgot password” flow.
Find a saved Facebook password on your phone
The only documented way to “see” your Facebook password is through the password manager that stored it. Facebook’s own help pages point users to the device or browser password manager when they do not remember their password.
On Android (Google Password Manager)
If you saved your Facebook login in Chrome or another browser that uses Google Password Manager, that manager is where the password can be displayed. To learn how to view saved passwords on Android, open your device’s Settings, search for “Passwords,” and select Google Password Manager. After authenticating with your device PIN, pattern, or biometrics, you can tap on the Facebook entry to reveal the stored password.
On iPhone (iCloud Keychain)
Apple’s support and system behavior are the documented place to view saved passwords on iPhone. Go to Settings > Passwords, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode, then tap the Facebook entry to see the saved password. If the password was saved in the browser or device password manager, that manager is where the password can be displayed after device authentication.
Reset your Facebook password with ‘Forgot Password’
If the password was not saved in a password manager, the official Facebook account recovery flow is your next step. This is the only documented method when you do not remember your password.
- Go to Facebook.com/recover/initiate/ or select “Forgot password?” on the Facebook login screen. On the login screen, tap the 'Forgot Password?' link located below the password field.
- Enter the email address, mobile phone number, full name, or username associated with the account.
- Follow the on-screen instructions. For best results, use a device you have used to log in to Facebook before.
- Facebook will verify your identity by sending a verification code to the email or phone number you provided. Check spam or junk mail if the code does not arrive.
- Enter the code and follow the prompts to create a new password.
Once you set a new password, you can use it to log in on any device. Remember that you can also change your password at any time if you remember it by going to Settings & privacy > Settings > Accounts Center > Password and security > Change password.
What to do if you can’t access your recovery email or phone
If you no longer have access to the email address or mobile phone number on your Facebook account, select “No longer have access to these?” or “Forgot account?” / “Recover” if shown during the recovery flow. You will then be asked to supply new contact information that has not been used before on that Facebook account. After completing security checks, you can reset your password. This is the documented Facebook recovery path when old contact methods are unavailable. If you don't have access to the email address or phone number, you may need to go through additional steps to recover your account; visit Facebook's Help Center for further assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Facebook show my current password?
No. Facebook documents changing or resetting the password, not revealing it. There is no setting or page that displays your current password.
Where do I find a saved Facebook password on iPhone?
In the iPhone password manager.
Are third-party ‘password revealer’ apps safe to use?
No. Any app or tool claiming to reveal a Facebook password is a scam. These apps often steal your personal information or install malware. Always use official methods: your device’s password manager or Facebook’s account recovery.
Can I use a keylogger app to get a Facebook password?
No official Facebook, Apple, Google, Samsung, or carrier help page documents using a keylogger app to obtain a Facebook password. Bypassing phone lock screens to install such software is also not a documented or legitimate approach.
What should I do if I cannot access my recovery email or phone number?
Select “No longer have access to these?” during the recovery flow. You will be asked to provide new contact information that has never been used on that Facebook account, then complete security checks to reset your password.
Is there any legitimate way to retrieve my own forgotten Facebook password on a mobile device?
Yes, Facebook provides a password recovery process through its official website or mobile app.
How can I enhance the security of my Facebook account on mobile?
Enable two-factor authentication, use a strong and unique password, regularly update your device OS and Facebook app, avoid suspicious links, and never share your password.
