Once the victim fill up the information and log in through the fake page the, the victims "Email Address" and "Password" is stored in to one text file, and the hacker then downloads that text file and gets his hands on the victims credentials information.
❷ Keylogging
Keylogging is the easiest and simple way to hack a someone Facebook password. Keylogging sometimes can be very dangerous that even a person with good knowledge of computers can fall for it. there is two types of keylogger available 1) software keyylogger and 2)hardware keylogger.. A Keylogger is basically a small program which, once is installed on victim's personal computer and it will record every thing victim types on his/her computer. The logs are then send back to the attacker or hacker by either FTP or directly to hackers e-mail address.
❸ Stealer's
Almost 85% percent people use stored passwords in their browser history to access the Facebook or any of accounts. This is quite convenient, but this is not at all it can sometimes be extremely dangerous for the user's. Stealer's are software's that specially designed to capture the cookie's that are available in the browsers and try to steal the saved passwords stored in the victims computer Browser.

In Session Hijacking attack is same as stealer's technique, a hacker steals the victims browser history or cookie which is used to authenticate the user on a website, and use it to access the victims account. Session hijacking is mostly used on LAN(oriented connection), and WiFi(wireless)connections. session hijacking also done with using search engine.
❺ Sidejacking With Firesheep
Sidejacking attack went common in late 2011, however it's still most popular now a days. Firesheep is widely used to carry out sidejacking attacks. Firesheep only works when the attacker and victim is on the same (network)WiFi network. this attack is basically another name. That is for http session hijacking, but it's more targeted towards WiFi users.
❻ Mobile Phone Hacking
Millions of social account users access through their mobile phones. In case the hacker can gain access to the victims mobile phone then he can probably gain access to his/her any of accounts account.
