Since Facebook uses cookies, once you log in to your Facebook account from an internet browser or Facebook apps on your Android phone, you will be able to access your Facebook account until you log out from it. And most of the time, we continue to use Facebook without logging it out day after day. In addition, many of us also saved our Facebook passwords when logging in for the first time so that we don’t have to type the password every time while logging into our Facebook account. These are good at some point as you can be able to access your Facebook account instantly without a password.

If you save your Facebook password on any internet browser, then the password is encrypted and is stored along with the encryption key on your phone. Hence, it is likely to be easy for the hacker to steal the Facebook password. On the other hand, if you save the Facebook password on your Google account, then the encrypted password and the encryption key is stored on Google’s database. Hence there is less chance of getting hacked the Facebook password. Though again it depends on you how much you trust Google’s security.
