How to Stop Sharing Your Facebook Password

Sharing your login hands over your whole personal account. Here’s the safe alternative: grant Page, portfolio, or ad-account access without your password.

You never need to share your Facebook password to let someone work on your Page or ads. Meta has built-in, scoped access for exactly this: Page access for the Page, portfolio membership plus asset assignment for teams, and ad-account roles for advertisers. Each one lets a person work from their own profile, leaves a clear record, and can be revoked in one click — no password reset required.

If your situation is actually …

Before you start

  • You can sign into your own account

    You’ll grant access from your own profile. Make sure 2FA is on so the credentials you’re protecting stay protected.

  • You know what each person actually needs to do

    Decide whether they need Page tasks, ad-account access, or portfolio membership before you start — it determines which grant to use.

Replace a shared password with proper access

  1. Grant Page access for Page work

    For someone who posts, replies, or manages the Page, add them in Page access with the specific tasks (or Full control if they truly run it).

    Where: Page → Settings → Page access

  2. Grant ad-account access for advertisers

    For someone running ads, assign them to the ad account as Advertiser in Business settings — not your login.

    Where: Meta Business Suite → Settings → Ad accounts

  3. Use portfolio membership for teams

    For a team that touches several assets, add each person to the Business Portfolio and assign the assets they need.

    Where: Meta Business Suite → Settings → People

  4. Change your password and turn on 2FA

    Once everyone has their own scoped access, change your Facebook password so the old shared one no longer works, and confirm two-factor authentication is enabled.

    Where: Facebook → Settings → Security and login

    Confirm: Everyone works from their own profile; the shared password no longer opens anything.

Common mistakes

  • Sharing the password "just this once"

    Once a password is out, the only way to truly revoke it is a reset — which disrupts every app and login tied to your account.

    Why it happens: It feels faster than setting up roles.

    Already happened: Why sharing your password is dangerous

  • Granting access but never changing the old shared password

    If you previously shared the password, set people up with their own access and then change it — otherwise the back door stays open.

A little, once. But it saves you a painful reset later and gives you a clear record of who can do what.

Delvia

Access issues are easier to prevent when roles, owners, and responsibilities are recorded clearly

Most access problems trace back to the same gap — no clear record of who has access, what role they hold, and what should happen when that changes. Delvia helps you keep that record so problems are visible before they become incidents.

Delvia is free on iPhone and Android. Keep a clear record of who has access to your accounts — and what to do when that changes — wherever you are.
