Only a few Facebook users are
aware of this fact, but for many others, this might seem a bit surprising.
Facebook accepts the following forms of your password:
1. Your Original Password
Let me explain this to you with
the following example. Assume that your default Facebook password that you
created during the sign-up process is:
2. Password with the Case Toggled
In the above password the
letters ‘F’ and ‘P’ are in uppercase and the remaining are in the lowercase. If
you TOGGLE the case where all the UPPERCASE
characters are converted into the lowercase and vice versa, your default
password “myFacebookPass” would become:
Now if you log in using the
above toggled password, your Facebook will accept it and welcomes you! This is
the first variation of your default password which is accepted by Facebook.
3. Password with the First Letter Capitalized
If the first character of your
password is in the lowercase, you may just change that first letter to UPPERCASE
and Facebook will again accept it and let you in. As in case of the above
example where your default password is “myFacebookPass”, if you just change the first letter to UPPERCASE, your password
would be “MyFacebookPass” and this should work fine as well:
Please note that this option
will work only for the Mobile
uers!
Why 3 Passwords?
Now, you all know that Facebook
can be accessed using 3 different passwords. But you may be curious to know the
actual reason behind it.
Well, this is definitely not
because Facebook has a bug or a serious vulnerability. In fact, this is just an
option provided by Facebook itself to make the sign-in process easier for the
users. Here’s how:
The most common reason for the
authentic logins to be rejected is when the CAPS LOCK is ON. This is where the
first variation comes in handy. That means, when the CAPS LOCK is ON the case
gets reversed (toggled) for your password but Facebook will accept this as
well.
In case of mobile users, it is a
common for the first letter of the password to get capitalized which often leads
to the login failure. So, in order to tackle this issue, Facebook will also
accept the password where only the first letter is capitalized.
Thus if the CAPS LOCK is
accidentally enabled, the toggled password feature would still let you log in to
your account!
