Tiktok Login

How to Log in on TikTok (Step-by-Step Beginner’s Guide)

If you just installed TikTok and are staring at the home screen wondering how to get inside, this short guide is for you. We show the exact steps to log in (mobile and desktop), sprinkle in security and troubleshooting tips, and keep everything simple — no fluff.


Step 1 — Open TikTok (mobile or desktop)

Open the official TikTok app (App Store or Google Play) or go to www.tiktok.com on a browser. Only use the official app/site to avoid fake apps or phishing attempts.
Beginner tip: If you downloaded from anywhere else, delete it and reinstall from the official store.

Step 2 — Tap Log In

On mobile the login option is on the home screen. On desktop it’s usually in the top-right corner. Make sure you pick Log In — tapping Sign Up will start account creation instead.

Step 3 — Pick your login method

TikTok lets you sign in with:

  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Username
  • Linked accounts (Apple, Google, Facebook — whichever you used originally)

If you can’t remember which one you used, try your email first (most people sign up with email). This step is simple, but picking the right method saves time.

Step 4 — Enter your credentials and hit Log In

Type your email/phone/username and your password. Press Log In.
Security tip: Use a strong password (12+ characters, mix of upper/lowercase, numbers, symbols). Consider a password manager — it’s the practical way to keep unique, strong passwords for every account. This is a small step that avoids big headaches later.

Step 5 — Complete verification (if requested)

TikTok may send a one-time code to your phone or email. Enter it when prompted. This is normal — it keeps your account secure. If you don’t get a code, check spam for email or make sure your phone number is correct.

Step 6 — Post-login checks & quick setup

  • Turn on Remember me on your private device to speed future logins.
  • Check your Profile → Settings → Security to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if you want extra safety.
  • If you used a social login (Google, Apple), make sure those accounts are secure too.

Troubleshooting — common login problems & fixes

  • Forgot password: Tap Forgot password? and follow reset instructions by email or phone.
  • Account not found: Try alternate methods (phone vs email). You might have multiple accounts.
  • No verification code: Wait a few minutes, check spam, or request a new code. If that fails, try a different verification method.
  • Still stuck: Use TikTok Help in the app or the official Help Center (search “TikTok login help”).

Facebook Login

How to Log In on Facebook — A Simple Beginner’s Guide


If you’ve just installed Facebook (or opened the site) and hit the login screen, this guide is for you. I’ll walk you through every practical path to sign in — mobile and desktop — explain the newer, safer options (like passkeys), and give quick fixes for the errors that trip beginners up.

Quick steps

  1. Open the Facebook app or visit facebook.com/login.
  2. Tap Log In and enter your email or phone number plus password.
  3. If Facebook asks, enter the verification code sent to your email or phone.
  4. Optionally set up passkeys or two-factor authentication for stronger security.

Step 1 — Open the official Facebook app or website

Use the official Facebook app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, or go to facebook.com/login in your browser. Don’t use copies or third-party apps — only official clients guarantee proper security and recovery options.

Tip: If your phone offers Face ID or fingerprint unlock for apps, use it only on a personal device.

Step 2 — Choose the right login field

On the login screen you can sign in with:

  • Email (any email associated with the account)
  • Phone number (the number you added to the account)
  • Username (if you set one)
    Type whichever you registered with and then your password. If your login doesn’t work, try the other options — many people forget whether they used phone vs email.

Step 3 — Enter your password and tap Log In

Type your password and hit Log In. If the password is correct, you’ll be taken to your News Feed.

Security tip: Use a long, unique password and a password manager. Password reuse is how most account takeovers happen. If you reuse passwords, expect trouble. (This is the simple reality — fix it.)

Step 4 — Complete verification (if required)

Facebook may send a one-time code to your email or phone. Enter that code to finish logging in. If you don’t receive it, check spam, and then request a new code or try a different recovery option from the login help page.

Newer option: Passkeys (passwordless login)

Facebook now supports passkeys — a stronger, easier alternative to passwords on mobile devices. Passkeys let you log in with your device biometric (Face ID, fingerprint) or PIN instead of typing a password. If you can, set a passkey: it’s safer against phishing and credential theft and makes login faster.

Practical note: Passkeys are rolling out by device/region; desktop support is different from mobile. Keep the traditional password/2FA as a fallback until passkeys are available on all platforms you use.

Short FAQ

Q: Can I log in with Facebook using Google or Apple?
A: Facebook supports passkeys, security keys, and traditional email/phone/password. Social logins like Google are not the standard Facebook login path — use the option you registered with.

Q: Is passkey safer than a password?
A: Yes — passkeys are device-based cryptographic credentials that can’t be phished like typed passwords. They’re more secure and more convenient on supported devices.

Q: Should I use “Remember me”?
A: Only on personal devices. Never on shared or public machines.

GSC average position

Why Average Position in Google Search Console Can Be Misleading

For many marketers and business owners, the “Average Position” metric in Google Search Console (GSC) seems like an easy way to measure SEO progress. A lower number looks better. A higher number looks worse. Simple, right?

Not quite.

In practice, this metric can be highly deceptive and lead you to draw the wrong conclusions—especially when viewed without context. Let’s break down why that happens, using two practical examples from real SEO agency work.
