My partner uses it a lot and has just received a new 'phone. She's not particularly 'techy' and can't remember the initial email or other verifying details she needs to set it up on said new 'phone. She still has access via her tablet. Any suggestions on how best to proceed? Many thanks for any advice, Ed |

That page gives you three choices: log in, create new account, or "forgot password" - click that last "forgot password" link, and it should take you through the process. -Joe- |

That will save her some looking up of things. You can also share history if you wish. |

Select Privacy & Security Click Saved Logins at the top Search for Fakebook and there will be clues for the e-mail address Click Show Passwords and you will see the current password. Chrome & IE should have similar but I failed to find and I in a rush. |
