How do I sign in to Facebook on a new phone?
Answer
Install the official Facebook app or use a browser, sign in with the correct email/phone and password, and complete any two-factor or login-approval prompt on an old device or recovery method. If nothing obvious fails, use Facebook’s Get help finding your account / password reset with the email or number on the profile.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Never send Facebook login codes to someone who messages or calls you unexpectedly.
Follow these steps
Try official login with known credentials
Open the official Facebook app, enter the email/phone and password you normally use, and watch for a specific error or approval prompt.
You should see: Either you get in, or you see a clear password/2FA message.
Approve login from another device
If Facebook sends a login approval to an old phone or email, approve it there, then return to the new phone.
You should see: The new phone finishes sign-in.
Reset the password if needed
Use Forgotten password / Get help finding your account on Facebook’s official flow, then set a new password via email or SMS you control.
You should see: You can sign in on the new phone with the new password.
Check for saved wrong autofill
If it still fails silently, clear the saved wrong password in the keyboard/password manager and type credentials carefully.
You should see: Login succeeds without autofill substituting an old password.

Extra tips
What to look for: Password error vs silent failure, login approval notifications on old devices, and which email/phone is tied to the Facebook account.
Before you change anything: Use the official Facebook app from Play Store/App Store. Have access to the account email and old phone if possible. Do not share codes with unexpected callers. Avoid unofficial “Facebook unlock” websites.
