Facebook Account Switcher to Switch Between Multiple Accounts

Facebook has been lately introducing some of the best features users have been looking for like Snooze, Secret Group, Did You Know, and so forth. And recently, thinking of the people who have multiple accounts, they have added another game-changing feature called “Facebook Account Switcher“. This feature allows users to switch between accounts without having to log out of each account manually. When you select a different account, it automatically signs you out of the current account and asks for only the password of the newly selected account. It does it on purpose so that no one can get unauthorized access to your other accounts.

It is currently available on the Facebook Web only. It means you can use this feature in the browser only and not on the Facebook app for smartphones. Facebook Account Switcher sits at the top bar and lets you connect multiple accounts. Afterwards, you can use it to switch between the added accounts with a single click. Some people might use one of those third-party browser extensions or software to switch Facebook accounts easily, but they always raise a security risk for your account getting hacked or compromised. So, Facebook took this into consideration and create this new feature for its web interface.

Update: For those people, who can’t see the Facebook Account Switcher would need to do a simple thing. Open Facebook on your Chrome (or other) browser and sign in to your Facebook Account. After that, simply sign out of that account and sign with your other account. As soon as you do that, you can now see the Facebook Account Switcher icon at the top. This way, you can add more accounts and switch with ease.

Here’s how to use it.

Step 1: To begin, open Facebook web interface on your browser. You will now see a new “Facebook Account Switcher” button at the top bar on the left of the Home button.

It will automatically use the username or email id and just ask you to enter the password for that account. At that time, it also automatically signs you out of the account you were using currently.

Conclusion:

    Oddly, since this button has become available any videos I try to play are distorted and unwatchable. Could be coincidence, but timing is hard to miss. Same accounts viewed on another PC, where the account switch button doesn’t appear work fine.

      Hi @@luigi_vercotti:disqus, I think that might be on your end, as I and all my colleagues are using the Facebook Account Switcher. But, if the problem still exists, then do try to clean up your browser cache, and I hope the videos will play just fine.

        Thanks. I tried that to no avail. Also wondering why the account switch button only appears when I view my account from one particular PC, and is not present on three others I use. Not sure what triggers its availability on that one PC. I’d love to turn it off and see if that also solves my video issue. Thanks again.

          I hope you will find a solution for the video issue. And if I come across any solution then I will let you know for sure.

      The first thing you should try is to open Facebook on the Incognito mode of your browser. Most probably, you will be able to see this option. Or else logout of Facebook from your browser in normal mode and then clear the cookies. This might help.

    I did not like your information. It does not tell me where to download the Facebook account switcher. For some unknown reason, it disappeared from my Facebook page and I can’t find it on the Internet. I have two (2) accounts and i can’t switch to the other one

      Hi @disqus_g3fego1pMo:disqus . This is an issue from Facebook side probably because many users are facing the same problem. Do note that this is not any plugin or integration that you need to download or install. It is a built-in feature rolled out by Facebook. You try to clear the browser cookies or open Facebook in incognito mode. Then try again.
