 |
Guys most of time my fb account hacked so use the tips yo protect your fb account. while back I wrote a post filled with tips for protecting your Facebook account from hackers.
If you haven’t yet read that post I suggest that you click over there and read it after you’ve finished making the changes recommended in this one.
This post is a follow-up to that earlier post explaining how to protect your Facebook account from getting hacked from a slightly more technical perspective.
Facebook offers a number of tools that can help keep your password and account safe and secure. Here are a few tips for using them:
First, choose a password that is difficult to guess. This post explains how to do that.
Next, since your email address doubles as your Facebook username, change your privacy settings to hide your login email address from your public profile:
This means it will be impossible for someone else to log in to your Facebook account from a device that you do not own unless they also have physical access to your cell phone.
That’s all there is to locking down your Facebook account to prevent hackers from taking control of it.
If you prefer visual instructions, our friends over at social media classes have put together a fantastic video that shows how to lock down your Facebook page:

First, choose a password that is difficult to guess. This post explains how to do that.
Next, since your email address doubles as your Facebook username, change your privacy settings to hide your login email address from your public profile:
1 – Log in to your Facebook account and visit your About page.
2 – In the left-hand column, click Contact and Basic Info.
3 – Hover your mouse over the Email field, then click the Edit button after it pops up.
4 – Click the first down arrow to the right of the email address that you use to log in to Facebook, then select Only Me.
5 – Next, click the down arrow on the far right and select Hidden from Timeline.
6 – Repeat steps 4 and 5 for any other email addresses that you wish to hide.
Now that you have hidden your log in email address and selected an unbreakable password, you have the opportunity to use your cell phone as a fool-proof “lock” on your account. Here’s how:
1 – Click the down arrow that’s located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
2 – Click Settings.
3 – Click the Security link in the left-hand column.
4 – Click on Two Factor Authentication.
5 – Make your selections as required to set up Two Factor Authentication with your mobile phone.
7 – Click Close.
From now on, any time you (or someone else) tries to log in to your Facebook account from an unknown device/browser, you’ll receive a text message on your cell phone with a security code that you must enter before Facebook will allow you to log in.This means it will be impossible for someone else to log in to your Facebook account from a device that you do not own unless they also have physical access to your cell phone.
That’s all there is to locking down your Facebook account to prevent hackers from taking control of it.
