How To Secure Your Facebook Account ?

Facebook has more than one billion users and 33 million active users. But are their accounts secured on Facebook? You will be shocked to know only a few thousands of people know how to keep their these accounts safe. That is why a lot of Facebook accounts are getting hacked easily. But is their any way to secure those accounts?

Yes, you can secure your Facebook account easily by following all these steps.

1. Update Security Info. This is the first and a very important step. Just visit Facebook’s Account Recovery Information page and check your overall protection status. If it is high, then ignore it or if it is not, then do add another email address, your own mobile number and a difficult to guess security question. These steps give you a high security for resetting the password.
2. Keep Your Email Address Safe. Don’t ever let the privacy of your email address in your profile be anything other than Only Me. Exposing the email address increases the chances of getting hacked. Because the hackers will also get to access your Facebook account easily if they just hack your email address. So whatever your email host (i.e. Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc) is, do remember to keep those email accounts also secured.
3. Update Email. If your email username is same or almost same as your Facebook username, then you should change your email address as soon as possible. Because in those cases the email address can easily be guessed by the username and the email privacy settings would be useless.
4. Use Proper Sign In Page. Another way of getting unauthorized access to your account is by phising. Suppose, you received an email about Facebook or something else which shows a sign in box that looks just the same as Facebook’s and by mistake, you entered your username and password to those boxes. Then what is going to happen next? The hackers will receive your sign in details shortly. This is the way the hackers mostly use to attack those who are a little unconcerned about their privacy and just go as they want. So never fill your sign in details anywhere other than Facebook itself.
5. Security Settings. Open the security settings page on Facebook and activate Login Notifications to ensure whenever an unrecognized device accesses your account, you get to know that instantly. In that way, you can take quick actions to change the password, email or whatever the way he/she used to access. You should also name your Trusted Contacts there. It will help greatly if you ever need to reset your password in future.
