Step 1: Visit Facebook’s Website
Open your preferred web browser and go to the Facebook website: www.facebook.com.
Step 2: Sign-Up Form
On the Facebook homepage, you’ll see a sign-up form on the right side of the screen. This is where you’ll start the account creation process.

In the sign-up form, you’ll need to provide the following information:
- First Name: Enter your first name.
- Last Name: Enter your last name.
- Mobile Number or Email Address: You can use either your mobile number or an email address to sign up. Choose the one you prefer, and enter it in the respective field.
- Password: Create a strong password for your account. It should be a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to ensure security. Facebook will also display a strength meter to help you gauge the strength of your password.
- Date of Birth: Select your birthdate from the drop-down menus for the month, day, and year.
Step 4: Choose Your Gender
