Why doesn’t Facebook let me view my password?

In the early days of the Internet, you could view your password for any account or service you owned. However, over a period of time, this has changed drastically. These days, social media websites take extreme care of your login credentials to keep them from falling into malicious hands.

The same is the case with Facebook. The social media giant does not let you view your password natively. This ensures that no one is able to view your password even when you forget to log out of a particular device. This is especially helpful for people who use public computers to log into their Facebook accounts. If they forget to log out, the next person to use the computer will not be able to extract the password from account settings. At worst, they will gain access to your account. This access can always be revoked by logging yourself out of all the devices remotely.

Use LastPass

If you’re not too keen to use Google’s services (including its password manager), you may want to check out some third-party password managers. LastPass is one of the best ones around. Once you save your Facebook password to LastPass, you can access it at any given time from the app’s ‘Vault’. Access to the vault will only be granted after you have verified your identity. This is where you can view your saved passwords, copy them, and use them to log into your accounts.
