Can You Log In to Two Facebook Accounts at Once on One Computer?
Can you stay logged in to two Facebook accounts in one browser?
Yes, with Facebook's own account switcher. On a computer it keeps several accounts signed in within one browser, and you move between them without logging out. According to Facebook's Help Center (read 3 October 2026), the steps are:
- Go to facebook.com on a computer.
- Click your profile picture at the top right.
- Click See all profiles, then Switch accounts.
- Click the account you want, or choose the option to log in to another account and add a new one.
The same page sets two conditions. Switching without logging out works only when several people have logged in from the same browser, and Facebook stores information for up to ten accounts. It also advises limiting the list to people who regularly use that computer. These are the computer steps; the page has separate sections for the mobile apps.
What is the switcher for, and what is it not?
Ten saved accounts is the size of the browser's list, not an allowance. Facebook's Terms of Service (effective 1 January 2025) tell people to create only one account, their own, for personal purposes, and not to share their password or give others access to the account. The switcher fits a shared computer where each person has their own account. It does not fit one person running several personal accounts; see Facebook's rules for multiple accounts.
Facebook's own vocabulary also shows why a second login is often not what people need:
| Term | What Facebook's Help Center says | A second login? |
|---|---|---|
| Account | You need one to use Facebook, and it holds your login details | It is the login |
| Main profile | Created when you sign up; it can be deleted only if you delete the account | No |
| Additional profile | Can no longer be created; existing ones are not affected | No: same login, you switch inside the account |
| Page | For businesses, brands, organisations and public figures | No: you reach it from your own account |
| Accounts Center | Connects accounts across Meta apps; only one Facebook account can be added | No |
Facebook also says it is gradually updating people to Meta Accounts, so you may see Accounts Center or Meta Account settings.
Which setups with several logins are legitimate?
| Situation | The route Facebook documents |
|---|---|
| A family or office computer used by several people, each with their own account | The account switcher, keeping only people who regularly use that computer |
| You manage a brand's Page | Your own account is given access to the Page, and See all profiles lets you switch into it |
| Colleagues who only publish, answer messages or run ads | Task access through Meta Business Suite or Ads Manager, with no Page login at all; see Page roles and team access |
| A developer or tester checking an app | Test users in Meta for Developers: simulated accounts that app admins or developers create, limited to 10 per app and kept apart from real users |
To switch into a Page you have access to, click your profile picture, click See all profiles, then select the Page. That is the route Facebook's Help Center lists for working as a Page you manage.
What are the browser options if you want sign-ins kept apart?
If you would rather keep each sign-in in its own space than switch, ordinary browsers offer three options:
| Option | What it keeps apart | Note from the vendor |
|---|---|---|
| Separate Chrome profiles | Bookmarks, history, passwords and other settings; Chromium keeps cookies inside each profile's own folder | Chrome Help suggests profiles for sharing a computer or keeping work and personal accounts apart |
| Firefox containers | Cookies, local storage, IndexedDB and caches inside one window | History, bookmarks and saved passwords are not separated |
| A private window | Temporary sessions, not a lasting setup | Facebook says private browsing can mean a security code at every login |
Profiles keep stored data apart; they do not give an account its own network connection. See what a browser profile is and how incognito differs from other tools. The step-by-step version is in separating Facebook accounts with browser profiles.
How do you keep a shared computer tidy?
Facebook's security tips say to log out when you use a computer that you share with other people. On a computer, you can drop a remembered sign-in like this:
- Click your profile picture, then Settings and privacy, then Settings.
- Click Accounts Center, then Password and security.
- Click Saved login and select the entry to remove.
After you remove it, Facebook says you need to enter the password the next time you log in on that device or browser. In the switcher, an account you logged out of stays on the list until you click the X next to your name, and Facebook notes that you have to remove it each time you log out.
What if the switcher is missing or a second login fails?
- No Switch accounts option. The switcher works for accounts logged in from the same browser. If only one has signed in there, if you removed another with the X, or if you opened a different browser, there may be nothing to switch to.
- Logged out, or asked for a code. That is a session or security matter, not the switcher. See why Facebook keeps logging you out.
- Accounts Center refuses a second Facebook account. It accepts only one.
- You made a second account by mistake. Facebook says it cannot merge accounts. Download what you want from the account you are dropping, add the account you keep as an admin of any Pages or groups, then delete the duplicate.

Where ADSSPEED fits
If you manage several accounts you are entitled to run and want them signed in side by side, ADSSPEED can help. It is a desktop app for Windows and macOS in which every browser profile keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so one sign-in does not sign another out. A proxy can be set per profile or assigned to many profiles in bulk, and profiles can be opened, stopped and organised in bulk. Profile data stays on your own computer. It does not change Facebook's rules: use it only for accounts you own or are authorised to manage. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Facebook.
Frequently asked questions
Can you log in to two Facebook accounts at once?
On a computer, Facebook's account switcher keeps several accounts signed in within one browser and lets you move between them without logging out. Facebook's Help Center says it can store up to ten accounts and describes it for people who log in from the same browser. It does not change the rule of one personal account per person.
How do I switch accounts on Facebook on a computer?
Go to facebook.com, click your profile picture at the top right, click See all profiles, then Switch accounts. Click the account you want, or choose the option to log in to another account. These are the computer steps from Facebook's Help Center; the mobile apps have their own sections.
Why is the Facebook switch accounts option missing?
Facebook describes the switcher as working when several people have logged in from the same browser. If only one account has signed in there, if you removed another with the X after logging out, or if you opened a different browser or profile, there may be nothing to switch to.
Can you have two Facebook accounts on one device?
You can sign in to several people's accounts on one computer with the switcher, but Facebook's Terms say to create only one account, your own, for personal purposes. The switcher suits a shared computer, not one person holding two personal accounts. A Page you manage is reached from your own account.
Can I still create additional Facebook profiles?
No. According to Facebook's Help Center (read 3 October 2026), you are no longer able to create additional Facebook profiles, and existing ones were not affected. Additional profiles use the same login, and you switch into them from See all profiles.
Can Accounts Center connect two Facebook accounts?
No. Meta's Help Center says you can only add one Facebook account to an Accounts Center, which connects a Facebook account with other Meta accounts such as Instagram. It cannot hold two Facebook logins.
