Keeping Facebook Account Safe

Hacking someone’s Facebook account and then posting unacceptable content is the most popular method to take revenge these days. Recently somebody hacked into my friend’s Facebook account and posted absurd messages others wall.Later he was able to recover his account but the damage has been already done.He has to explain to everyone that it was not him who had send them those messages.This can happen to anyone and its better to take preventive measures rather to face embarrassing situations later.

Login into your Facebook Account and go to Account Setting.

Choose Security tab from left window pane.

Steps To Do :

>> Click "edit" beside "secure browsing "

>> Enable " Secure Browsing "

>> Click "edit" beside " Login Notifications"

>> Enable "login notification"
>> Select Email / text message or both

Now when anyone try to access your account then you will get a email with the location of the user who logged on your account.

>> Set Recognized Devices

If you don’t want to recieve notifications from certain devices like your own computer or mobile then you can set them as recognized.If you have enabled Login Notifications then every time you login into your account from new (unrecognised) device it will ask you to give device name and an option to save it as Recognized device.

However if at some later stage you feel that you want to remove a device from recognized list you can do it by following simple steps.

>> Click "edit" beside " Recognized Devices "

>> Click " Remove "

>> Set " Login Approval " to  " required "

Now you'll get a text message in your mobile like this " Please use the code ****** to approve the login from an unrecognized machine "

You can't login till to feed that code through that machine!!!
[ note : verify ur mobile no. for this procedure (mobile verification) ]

>> Check " Active Sessions " frequently "

>> End any suspicious sessions
