We have been receiving an increased amount of emails and comments of Facebook users who have difficulties logging into the popular social networking website. Our initial guide, called Facebook Login, has helped many Facebook users, but some still had difficulties despite the guidance.
We have created a PowerPoint presentation and a PDF document to better aid Facebook users log into the website. Both documents have the same contents and contain all the necessary information to fix Facebook login problems.
You can download the help documents below. We have also added them to the sidebar here at Login Helper and linked them in the original Facebook login post for greatest exposure.

Not the username, but the password is the most important part of an online account, and it is relatively easy to explain why. A username usually is displayed somewhere on the site the account is for. A Facebook wall post, a reply in an online forum or the writing of an article all show the username in one form or the other.

You probably have come upon password security questions before. They are often used when a user forgets the password to an account to identify the user. The major problem with those security questions is the fact that they often only display general questions that the user can chose from during configuration.

Asking those questions is problematic because of two things. First, they are not that secure if the attacker has access to information about you. Your mother for instance would surely know most of the answers to those questions, as would a close friend and even most work colleagues or class mates might.

Phishing is an attack form that is usually carried out by email. The term phishing is made up of the two words password and fishing which describes the basic concept. Attackers try to convince the user that the email has been send by a trusted organization. Most phishing emails fake emails from financial organizations like PayPal or banks but other services like social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace are also targeted by phishers.
Links in those emails lead to fake websites that look like the original website. The only purpose of those fake websites is to catch the login data of the user who does not realize that the fake website is not the real one.
