You’ve probably heard the advice that you should change your passwords every few months to keep your digital accounts secure. This advice has long been standard, though cybersecurity experts have come out in recent years to assure internet users that a password change is likely unnecessary with a strong, unique password.
That said, you might not have a strong and unique Facebook password. Maybe a reshuffled spelling of your name is the key to your account. But if it’s not strong, there’s a chance that someone could be trying to breach your Facebook account. In which case, it’s probably time to change your password.
