How do i see my password on facebook

The truth is Facebook does not allow users view their passwords even if they are logged in. Naturally, the decision was made for safety reasons. Imagine you log in to your account on a public computer, for example, in a library, school, or hotel you are staying during your trip, and you forget to log off. Letting the user see his password would also allow it for anyone else who gains access to the user’s device or in case of our mentioned situation happens to sit next to the public computer the accounts creator was using just a couple of minutes ago. Naturally, it is possible the one who notices you did not log off will do it for you, but what if this person appears to be interested in stealing your account? If there was an option to view password after logging in this person could learn your password and then change it through settings. Nonetheless, while you cannot see your Facebook password after logging in, there is another option as you know there are password managers.
