| Sep 24, 2014 at 8:40 | comment | added | AKS | @Chris I can remember some fb employee replied to a similar thread. However, I don't see any reason to store variations of the password in hash form. When changing password, they can try to modify the new password with some variations and see if any of them matches their hash in file. | |
| Sep 23, 2014 at 19:37 | comment | added | Christian Strempfer | Ah sorry, they don't store them, they generate similar passwords on password change to check if one matches with the old one. | |

| Sep 23, 2014 at 19:26 | comment | added | Christian Strempfer | I read a post of a Facebook employee that explained that Facebook does actually store variations of the password hash to prevent reusing similar passwords (for example simply adding a 2). I'll try to find it. | |

| Sep 23, 2014 at 15:47 | comment | added | PwdRsch | This is correct and it has been this way for years. There is a third scenario, which is where Facebook will accept your password with the first letter capitalized even if it isn't normally. | |
