Facebook Login Home Page | Facebook.com Login Sign in
People often have problems logging into Facebook due to the following reasons: Fake Facebook URLs, accounts got hacked, network is blocking access to Facebook, forgotten password, improper Facebook login habits and others. We will cover most of these problems and their respective solutions and advice in this post.
Check if the Facebook login home page URL is correct and genuine
First and foremost, before you even start troubleshooting your Facebook.com login problem, you must check and confirm if the Facebook homepage you’re looking at is the correct Facebook homepage.
Check the URL to see if it’s the genuine facebook.com and not other possible scam links. There has been many cases where people’s Facebook accounts got hacked because they sign in their account in some scam sites that look exactly like the Facebook home page. If you enter your username and password in such scam sites, they can of course record anything you’ve entered and attempt to sign in to your Facebook account and do whatever they want.
There can be many causes of this problem. You may have visited a Trojan site or installed a bad software that injected a Trojan or spyware which redirects your facebook.com home page to any page they want. They may also set your browser’s default home page to their fake Facebook login page. In this case, you will have to scan your computer for viruses and errors (try Registry Easy), and change your default homepage back to the correct one. Always check if the Facebook login home page URL is the correct and genuine one.

Facebook Incorrect Password problems
If Facebook returns an incorrect password error when you log in to facebook.com, it simply means what it says – you’ve entered the wrong password. You may want to check if your Caps-lock is turned on. Whether it’s unintentionally or you wanted it to be on for something else previously, you may want to turn it off as it will capitalize every character you type on the screen, re-enter the password again. It sounds dumb but people make mistakes.
If you’re very sure that the entered password is correct, your account may have been hacked or somebody has changed your Facebook account’s password without your acknowledgement. In this case, you should reset and change your password immediately. Please read the next paragraph about resetting your Facebook password.

To reset your Facebook password, go to facebook.com and then click on the “Forgot your password” link. On the next page, you have to first find your account by follow the on-screen instruction. You can choose to enter your email address you used to sign in (or sign up) to your Facebook account. If you don’t remember your email address, try with other account’s details such as your phone number, your full name, or your username. You may be asked to enter the full name of one of your friend for the confirmation of your account. Just enter the full name of any of your friends who are in your friend list and proceed.
The following hints are for if you happen to forget everything about your account:
- Ask your friend for a favor to look at your About page in your Facebook profile and send you the email address that shows up under the “contact info“.

Check if your network is blocking access to Facebook and that you need a proxy to login
This often happen especially when you’re in your college, work places, and any other serious places that don’t encourage users to surf on Facebook. Well, in that case, you may see an error 404 when you access to Facebook login home page. The source of the problem is not at your side. There’s no solution to this unless you are authorized to unblock Facebook access in your network. Otherwise, you’ll need a proxy in order to access to Facebook. We don’t encourage users to do this as some of this proxy services may as well endanger your Facebook account. Of course, not all proxies are dangerous, and in fact, most of the paid proxies are genuine and safe to use. Use a proxy only if you know what you’re doing.
