  • Once you've filled out the form, click the button Send.
  • Finally, confirm your e-mail address or your phone. If you signed up with your email address, you'll receive a message with a confirmation link. If you chose your phone number, you'll receive a SMS code to be entered on the platform.

 

Your Facebook profile is ready. You can now add a profile photo, find your friends, and send your first friend requests. T

You can also create a Facebook page if you want to represent an activity or a project.

What should you do if you can't log in to your account?

Two common roadblocks often arise right after signing up: the confirmation code that never happens, and the inability to connect with one's password. Here's what to do in each case.

You didn't receive the confirmation code

Upon registration, Facebook send a coded by email or text message to verify your account. If you don't receive it:

  • Check your spam and your “junk mail” folder; ;
  • Checks that the’e-mail address where the phone number the input is correct; ;
  • Request a new code by clicking the “Resend Code” link; ;
  • Try using a phone number instead of email, or vice versa.

Once you've entered the code, your Facebook account is active. If you encounter any other access issues, check out our guide to Recover a Facebook account.

Do you want to change or reset your password?

If you can no longer log in, you can change your password directly from your profile by following these steps:

  • Click on your profile photo at top right.
