Step 2: Enter the phone number you used to create your Facebook account or the one linked to your Facebook account into the email or phone number.

This is also a simple way to log in to a Facebook account, but not everyone knows it. The username of a Facebook account is the part that appears after https://www.facebook.com/. However, to use this method, you need to create a username first. Here’s how to do it:

1.5. Logging in with an ID

If you have not set a username in section 1.3, when you access your profile page, the URL will show a series of numbers after https://www.facebook.com/. That is your Facebook ID. However, if you have changed your username, the ID will no longer appear.

There are many ways to find your personal ID, but the simplest way is to use the website FIND MY FACEBOOK ID. Here’s how to do it in detail.

To use the incognito tab to log in to Facebook, you need to open an incognito window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or cmd + Shift + N (macOS). This method applies to most popular browsers on both operating systems.

4. How to log in to multiple Facebook accounts simultaneously on a phone

One of the easiest ways is to use a phone that supports app cloning, such as certain Samsung models. In this case, you can use two different Facebook accounts simultaneously with the same Facebook app.

However, if your phone does not have this feature, you can still log in to multiple Facebook accounts on the same phone using the following methods.

4.1. Use different versions of Facebook

In addition to the Facebook version we often use, there are other versions available on the app store, such as Facebook Lite, Facebook for Business, Friendly Social Browser, etc. You can download these versions to log in to multiple Facebook accounts.

Usually, each phone has its own default browser, and Android phones usually have Chrome. You can also install other browsers like Opera, Microsoft Edge, DuckDuckGo, Firefox, etc. to use multiple Facebook accounts simultaneously on your phone.
