Protect your Facebook account from hackers




 

Facebook currently has over 700 million users worldwide and it’s growing with each passing day.  It is possible for bad individuals to gain access to your Facebook account without your knowledge by obtaining your username and password.  Once they have access to your account, they can access your personal information and the information of your friends.

Setting up Facebook login security notifications will help you know when your Facebook account is accessed inappropriately.

Follow these simple steps to Enable Facebook Login Security Notifications:-

1. Login to facebook.com (Facbeook Login Help). Enter your email and password, click on login.

2. On top right hand top corner, Click on the top right drop down -> “Account Settings”.

3. Select “Security” link from the left hand menu.

4. Under login notifications, Select “Email” under “When a new computer or mobile device logs into this account:” and click on save.

5. Go to (top right) drop down and click on logout.

6. Login to facebook.com again. Enter your email and password, click on login.

7. Enter a name for the computer you are using to access Facebook. E.g. Home PC, Home Laptop, Office PC, etc. Also tick “Don’t ask me again from this computer”.  Click on “Continue”.

8. Login to your email you used to sign up for Facebook. You should get an email from Facebook stating, “A new device named ‘….’ was added to your Facebook account (<Time>).”

All done :) You have now successfully protected your account.

      If Facebook is disabled, the only way to get around it is by contacting the system admin and explain how Facebook can add value to whatever you are doing. Using a proxy server is not the best solution.

    i did this and it notifies me only the first time I log in from a different device.. once i name it and everything, whenever I log in from it, it never sends me any notification. is there any way i can find out literally EVERY time someone logs into my account even if the device is already named?

    • Cheolsu says:

      Unfortunately, Facebook currently sends notifications only when someone logs in to your account from a system that is not yet registered. If you believe that someone is using your account, do immediately change your password and reset it to a complex yet easy to remember.
