Facebook Accepts 3 Forms of Your Password:Digital Tech Inspiration

Yes! Facebook accepts three forms of passwords. Isn't it confusing even shocking too, I was also having the same reaction until I tried it my self on Facebook to believe it. As

we know Facebook has multiple login options like you can use your e-mail address, your Facebook profile user name(your vanity URL), or you can use your registered mobile number associated to Facebook. But how can a Facebook profile accept three passwords forms?

You can log in to your Facebook account profile using the password that you have created and also you can construct other passwords by toggling the case (Upper or Lower) of the characters of your original password.

For example, if your password is f@cebookSecurity!, you can convert the upper case characters to lower case (and vice-versa). So you get the toggled password string as – F@CEBOOKsECURITY! – This is also accepted by Facebook to log on through.

There are many other variations you can form as well like toggling the whole password as F@cEbOOkSeCUriTy!. Facebook recently introduced this feature to reduce the logged in errors on Facebook. It is because of the caps lock key on/off to prevent double entering password. Actually you can say this is a feature added by facebook.

You may try these variations with your own password at facebook.com/login.php.

According to this ZDNet story that explains why Facebook allows users to login through multiple passwords. According to Facebook:

Facebook actually accepts three forms of your password:

Your original password.

Your original password with the first letter capitalized. This is only for mobile devices, which sometimes capitalize the first character of a word.

Your original password with the case reversed, for those with a caps lock key on.
