I’m an admin of a Facebook business page who has since deactivated their personal account.
Posted by on June 24, 2020 at 9:50 amPlease feel free to delete if necessary; first time poster on here and I’m not sure if I’m _necessarily_ in the right place.
I’ve recently deactivated my personal Facebook profile (sick of the constant stream of toxicity being pumped into my feed). The brewery I work for has a business page that the owner and I are administrators of, but it’s largely left to me to respond to queries, trade customers etc. I’m wondering if there’s any way I can still maintain said business profile without my personal account active? TIA!

You can’t access Facebook in that way without an account. You can set up a dummy profile to use, and that’s against their TOS I think.

Create another Facebook profile just for that sole purpose. You can then add that new profile as the page admin.

This is a really silly problem to have.
Just simply unfollow everyone on your personal page so that they don’t show up in your feed.
Not unfriend, just unfollow.. You won’t see any of it.

I went through the same situation and just made a “blank” Facebook page for the sole purpose of managing profiles.

I unfollow everyone who spews toxicity. Depends on how well I know that person, I unfriend too. Why should I struggle ? ?

You can add people by email address to Facebook Business accounts, and those accounts don’t have to be regular facebook accounts.

The short answer is no. You have to have a personal account to manage a business page. It’s stupid and it sucks but that’s Facebook policy for some reason.
I hate it because I manage all our digital/social advertising in-house but our Purchasing Department handles all the credit cards, so every time there’s a billing/payment change — which happens more often than you’d think — I have to have the purchasing person physically come to my computer so I can log them in. There’s no way that I know of to have a separate “business login” that you can give people without making them a temporary admin or giving them your personal password.

Setting up a Facebook Business Manager is the solution here. Then the page ownership isn’t associated with a personal account and is instead owned by the business manager. This makes it a lot easier to recover and invite other users/accounts. If you verify it to a real company you can also use that to claim it back in case you’d lose access. You don’t even have to enter the Facebook Feed to access business manager either. Makes everything so much simpler in general as well.
