If you maintain or manage multiple Facebook accounts, you may know that you cannot just log into them simultaneously in the same browser. Browsers keep some personal and login data, or “cookies,” to identify you in your session. These cookies enable you to go through all connected websites, services, or pages without having to login every time. However, if you want to log into multiple Facebook accounts at the same time, there are a few options you can try. We’ll also show you how to quickly switch between accounts on the mobile app or the Facebook website. This wikiHow article teaches you how to log in to multiple Facebook accounts on the same device.

Quick Guide: Logging Into Multiple Facebook Accounts

In the Facebook app, save multiple logins and switch between them from the login screen. In a web browser, click your profile picture and use the dropdown menu to switch accounts. To open multiple sessions at once, use separate browsers or log into the mobile app and a mobile browser at the same time.

  1. Most desktop browsers have an incognito mode or private browsing option that allows you to browse without using cookies. You can use this method to log into more than one Facebook account in the same browser. To get started, launch a web browser, such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.
    • You can also use this method on a mobile browser on your phone or tablet.
  2. Visit www.facebook.com and enter your first Facebook account email address (or phone number or username) and password in the login fields in the upper-right corner of the page. Click the “Log in” button to proceed.
  3. Most browsers have a menu button that looks like 3 dots or lines in the top right corner of the browser window. Click this button to open the main menu.
  4. Look for an option that says something like “New incognito window” or “New private window” in the drop-down menu. A new browser window will open in Incognito mode. Once you’re in incognito mode, you can enjoy private browsing without your browser collecting data on you.
    • Depending on your browser, you may see an icon that looks like a bandit mask or a secret agent hat and glasses at the top of the window. You’ll also see a message telling you that you’ve gone into Incognito or Private mode.
    • You can also open a new incognito window by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P for Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS or ⌘-Shift-P for Mac on your keyboard.
    • You can also access incognito mode from a browser app on your Android or iOS devices. For instance, in the mobile version of Chrome and Firefox, tap the Tabs button at the bottom of the screen (which looks like a square displaying your current number of tabs), then tap the Incognito or Private tab at the top of the screen. Then, press the + button to open a new private tab.
  5. Use the incognito browser window to visit Facebook, and log in using login details of your second Facebook account. You now have two Facebook accounts that you can use simultaneously.
    • You will need to log in again each time you close your incognito tabs. However, if you save your login information in your passkey, keychain, or password manager , you can log back in more quickly.
