How to create two Facebook profiles (Web / Android / iOS)
If your intent is to create two profiles on Facebook, then the first thing you need to do is sign up for Facebook for the second time, in order to create your second account.
To do this you must go to the home page of the social network and I advise you to proceed first through the browser you usually use to browse the Internet.
Then open your favorite navigation program (for example Google Chrome or Safari) and type the address www.facebook.com in the browser bar located at the top and then press the Enter key from the keyboard to connect to the main page of the social network.
In case you are already connected to Facebook, in order to view the social network home page you must first log out of your account. In this specific case, to log out of your account, just click on the button with the down arrow symbol which you can see located in the top bar of the social network. Then press the button Logout which you will see appear from the drop-down menu and you will be logged out.
In both cases, what you will see on the screen will be the initial section of the social network through which you can register for a new account. To create your second Facebook profile you will need to fill out the registration form to the social network as if it were your first time; the form can be found on the right side of the screen.
You will then have to type your name and surname in the appropriate text fields and also enter your e-mail address or mobile number with which you want to register; the latter must be entered in the text field mobile number or email address.
Later, you will also need to type in the password you want to use for creating your new Facebook profile. Do not forget also that you must indicate your date of birth, using the drop-down menu of the same name and also your gender, choosing between man e woman and placing a check mark on the relevant item.
Once you have verified the correctness of all the data entered, press the button Create account. I remind you that, to register with Facebook and thus create two profiles, you will need to indicate a different email address from the one used to create your first profile. At the time of writing this guide, it is not possible to create two profiles on Facebook with the same email address.
On the next screen, you will be prompted to type the confirmation code you received via email or SMS, depending on whether you registered by indicating your phone number or your email address; after typing the code in the appropriate text field, press the button Continues.
At this point you will have finished creating your new Facebook profile and you can start personalizing it by adding people you know to friends, uploading your profile photo and cover image and even personalizing your information.
