This blog post aims to help users with a Facebook account to understand the purpose of a Facebook password and how it is used. It also provides some tips on what happens when a user changes their password. Facebooks passwords are created by the user as a unique value that identifies them as an authorized user on Facebook. These passwords must be at least 14 characters long, and include letters, numbers, and signs. The company recommends that users use complicated passwords because they are more difficult for unauthorized users to guess or crack with automated means such as brute force attacks from hijacked computers or phishing scams that trick people into giving up their credentials. Since June 2017, Facebook requires all users to have a phone number associated with their account before being able to login. Facebook therefore offers a two-factor authentication method of authenticating a user's identity by both something that the person knows (like a password or PIN), and something that the person has (such as a security code sent to a smartphone). In September 2010, Facebook had 800 million users with an average of 130 friends each. In September 2011, Facebook announced 750 million users, an increase of 100 million from its September 2010 announcement. In April 2012, Google announced that 540 million people were automatically logged into Google+ by virtue of having a Gmail or YouTube account; this increased to one billion in July 2012 and 1. 2 billion in April 2013. In May 2012, Facebook announced that more than one billion people used the site and had an average of 84 friends apiece, and that its network of friends stretched to about 1.4 billion people around the world. The increase of approximately 727 percent made Facebook rank as the third-most-popular website among US adults by December 2012, after Google and YouTube. In June 2017, Facebook announced it had reached 2.23 billion monthly active users (MAU) with 1.57 billion daily active users (DAU). Since January 2006, several security researchers have found flaws in the passwords used by Facebook users; some vulnerabilities were more severe than others. In May 2009, a security researcher found a file on some Facebook servers that contained "hundreds of millions" of Facebook user passwords. In September 2010, some Facebook users' passwords were stolen as part of a series of security breaches on large websites, including those of Twitter and Yahoo!. These users were forced to reset their passwords. In December 2012, the privacy settings for about 760,000 users were exposed after an error in the privacy code allowed three international developers to access limited information from the Facebook accounts of people who had liked a developer's fan page. Despite its security flaws and privacy controversies, Facebook continues to grow. Facebook has developed and implemented a variety of authentication and access control mechanisms to protect its hundreds of millions of users from malicious activity. It has built-in technical features such as the automated "captcha" check when one tries to log in from an unrecognized computer, or it requires a unique password. Facebook also has features that allow users to register with an email address, without having a Facebook account. Users accessing Facebook through the mobile site must enter their phone number in order to prove they are using a legitimate device and not a fake one. cfa1e77820
