Facebook Says Password Incorrect But It’s Right
## Direct Answer
If Facebook says your password is incorrect but you’re sure it’s right, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then reset your password. If issues persist, check for caps lock, typos, and saved login information.
## Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Clear Browser Cache and Cookies**: Go to your browser’s settings, find the ‘Clear Browsing Data’ option, and select ‘Cookies and other site data’ and ‘Cached images and files’. Confirm the action to clear them.
2. **Reset Facebook Password**: Go to the Facebook login page, click ‘Forgot account’, enter your email or phone number, and follow the instructions to reset your password.
3. **Check Caps Lock and Typos**: Ensure your caps lock is off and double-check for any typos in your email and password.
4. **Check Saved Login Information**: If you’re using a password manager or browser auto-fill, ensure the saved login information is up-to-date and correct.
5. **Try a Different Browser or Device**: If you’re still having issues, try logging in from a different browser or device to rule out any browser-specific problems.
