How to Unsave Your Password on Facebook

By Tyson Cliffton

Facebook makes an option available on its login page to remember your password, saving you a step so you can access your account more quickly when you use the same computer. However, if this option is enabled on is a public computer at your business, this means that other people who access Facebook on that computer can easily gain access to your account. To prevent this from happening, you can disable the option for Facebook to remember your password.

Open your Web browser and navigate to your Facebook page.

Click the drop-down arrow next to Home to open a context menu.

Click "Log Out." You'll be redirected to the Facebook login page.

Clear your Web browser's cache (links in Resources).

Click to remove the check mark from the "Keep me logged in" context box the next time you log in to Facebook. As long as that box remains unchecked, you'll be prompted for your account password every time you reopen your Web browser and navigate to facebook.com.

Warnings

If you log out of Facebook but leave your browser session open, Facebook will automatically populate your account password after entering the email address associated with your account.
