Can I find my old Facebook password in iCloud?

I changed my Facebook password and deactivated the Facebook account. The email that was associated with FB was my Facebook email. I have attempted 30-50 times to reset my FB password ** having a code SMS sent to my cell phone and I have not received any code.

so, I was wondering if iCloud would have the password i used on Facebook from 10/16/17.

i would like to get my husbands CaringBridge shared on my FB page and I have a couple of pages that I am admin on in FB.

You can see your passwords at Settings ➔ Accounts & Passwords ➔ App & Website Passwords

Have you tried signing into Facebook to see if the password was in iCloud Keychain?

So I’m guessing safari only saves passwords when I use safari.

It depends on which software you did it under, but if it's not there, it's not there.

Facebook keeps trying to send me a SMS code to reset my password but 50attemlts later and I haven’t received any SMS on my cell phone from Facebook.

I don't know much about facebook, but it kinda sounds like you might have changed your number since you set up Facebook. If it were me, I'd contact Facebook for help.

I looked through this and it looks like it is only useful on my iPhones safari.

I used the Facebook app. on my iPad and my iPad doesn’t have the accounts/passwords option like my iPhone has.

The passwords that are suggested look old and not recent.

Maybe.. if I back up my iPad to the day that I changed my Facebook password it would enter the new/forgotten password I choose. ???

I did and password is wrong.

When I made the changes to my password I did it on the Facebook app and not safari. So I’m guessing safari only saves passwords when I use safari.

Facebook keeps trying to send me a SMS code to reset my password but 50attemlts later and I haven’t received any SMS on my cell phone from Facebook.

THank you.

Facebook is the most challenging company to find any contact info for.

I appreciate your help.

The option is also there on the iPad, if however, the iPad software isn't up to date, it may well be in a different place, if I recall correctly it was under Settings ➔ Safari

However, having said that if you were using iCloud keychain, the list of passwords would have been identical on all devices.
