News India Live, Digital Desk: Facebook Account Security: In today’s era, when everyone’s life is settled on social media platforms like Facebook, the safety of your account should be the biggest priority. Imagine, someone else is running your account, likes your posts or sending strange messages… Thinking is scared, right? Often this happens with us or with our friends that an unknown person hacks and uses it, or we forget to logout somewhere and logout it.
But there is nothing to panic! Facebook itself has given you a very easy and work facility to find out this. You do not have to download a third party app, nor need to be a detective, just go to some settings and your ‘face of the crime’ (ie who has been using the account, where and when) will be seen in front!
So, now you don’t have to wear your detective hat! Let’s know that amazing feature and how to get complete control on your account:
How to find out, who is using your Facebook account and where:
-
Go to your Facebook app (or open on the browser). First tap on the ‘Menu’ icon with three horizontal lines in the right corner above.
-
Scroll down slightly and tap on ‘Settings & Privacy’ (Settings and Privacy). This will open a dropdown menu.
-
Now tap on ‘Settings’ (Settings). This will take you to the page of your main settings.
-
Here, ‘Security and Login’ (security and login) option will be found. Tap on it.
-
You will get the section ‘Where you’re logged in’ (where you are logged). Below this, there will also be an option of ‘See All’ (see all). Tap on ‘See All’.
Now see, it will put the entire history in front of your eyes! You will get a list of all the devices from which your Facebook account is logged or logged first. In this list, you will get information about the device’s name, browser (eg chrome, safari), location (place), and when it was active last time.
If anything is ‘suspicious’, take action immediately!
In this list, if you see any device or location that you do not recognize, or from where you have never logged in, it is a clear indication that your account is hacked or being used by someone else.
-
Log out immediately: Tap on three dots (…) in front of that unknown device and select the option of ‘log out’ (log out). If you want, you can also choose the option of ‘Log out of all sessions’ (log out of all sessions), so that you will be logged out together with all the devices.
-
Change passwords: As soon as you found suspicious activity, immediately replace your password. Choose a strong and unique password (which has large letters, small letters, numbers and symbols).
Second big shield of security: Two-Factor Authentication!
If you want to make your Facebook account more secure, then activate ‘Two-Factor Authentication’ (2FA). This is a double security circle. Whenever someone tries to log in to your account with a new device, Facebook will send an OTP (One Time Password) to your register mobile number. No one will be able to log in without that OTP, even if he does not know your password. This will serve as a great ‘master key’ for your online security.
Remember, always be cautious about your online security. You are the keepers of your data yourself! These easy checks and tricks will always help keep your Facebook account safe.
