Create a Facebook Account

To start using Facebook, you first have to create an account. To do this you will need your email address or a mobile phone number. If you already have an account you can skip this lesson but if you don’t have an account yet you are in the right place.

Step 3: Fill out your information, then click on ‘Sign Up‘.

Step 4: Once you click on ‘Sign up’, you will receive a confirmation code to either your email address or mobile phone number that you provided. Enter this code in the box highlighted below, then click on ‘Continue’.

Step 5: A message will appear to confirm that your account has been successfully created. Click on ‘Okay’. You will then be brought to your Facebook account home page.
