    Hi sanfora thanks for your question. I think someone try to trick with you for getting your Facebook access. So, I want to ask you do you know him, who request to get password or is he your familiar person? If your familiar or unknown do not share password anyway. Many scammers try to hack account such way. And Gmail or Facebook will not take any responsibility, if you do so. So, be aware, before share any private information with someone. I think you have to level up your Facebook security concern. And Gmail too. I think mobile verification may best option for security purpose.

    You shouldn't really worry, however it's best to change your password to a password that is not easily guessed. I suggest using some sort of password generator. You can use "Strong Password Generator" to do this for you:

    https://strongpasswordgenerator.com/

    I've used them a couple of times and the passwords that are generated seem to be almost impossible to crack by automated systems. So just remember to change your passwords often. I don't even save passwords on my browser, I generally just try to remember them write them done in a notebook that I hide around the house. I take password security literally, and everyone else should too.

    I have my Facebook settings quite tight when it comes to security. Even if someone has my password they cannot access my account from a new device.

    If I want to access my account from a new device Facebook will send a code to my mobile phone that I have to enter before I can have access Facebook. Perhaps you should consider tightening up your security like this too.

    In fact it is sometimes too tight for me, sometimes I struggle to get in myself LOL.

    I also receive that kind of email from time to time but it's not more about my yahoo email password. That may email account is to expire so I have to reset my password by typing in the old and new password. That is like asking for my password, right? But I remember getting a similar email that my Facebook account is hacked so I needed to change my password. They have the same tenor and style. But I'm sure they were able to dupe some who are naive with that matter. Tsk, tsk, too bad for them.
