How to change fb account in Your Browser

People have more than one Facebook account. The reasons are debatable but we’re going to stick with the assumption that one is for work, and the other is for personal use. In that context, you might need to switch Facebook accounts quickly. There are probably extensions/add-ons that can help make that easier but they might be a security risk. Facebook it seems has caught on that this might be a genuine need. It’s added an account switcher to its web interface.

Switch Facebook Accounts

If you visit Facebook, you will see a new button next to the Home button on the top bar. This is the new account switching button.

In the window that appears, click ‘Add Account’. You will be redirected to the Facebook login page where you can sign into your second account.

The first time you use the account switcher, you will have to enter both your email and password. The second time around, you will only have to enter your password. Once you’ve added a second account, the account switcher window will show it. You only have to click the account’s profile picture in the little window, enter the password, and you will be switched to the other account.
