How to secure your FB account?


These days you may hear that something going wrong on FB and data has been misused. So today I’m going to show you that how to secure your FB account.

There are few ways to secure your account.
  • When log in to your FB account never check the box KEEP ME LOGGED IN unless you using your personal computer.
  • Don’t share your password with anyone even with your friend. Because it will lead to many troubles.
  • Never log in to your account at a public place unless place is trustworthy.
    • When you open up your account in a friend's computer or from cyber cafe, never click on 'Keep me logged in' as well. This applies to every other account you have on the Internet including your Gmail and Spotify accounts.
    • Your friends may have installed the Facebook Password Decryptor software, which stores all your Facebook login information. So, you should be aware of this software because your friend (or the cyber cafe) is not going to tell you that he or she has installed this software.
  • Always have a very strong password that no one can guess. Hackers use a technique called 'dictionary attack' where they use each and every word of the English alphabet in the password box to open up your account.
    • You are always welcomed to use numbers, lower and uppercase characters, symbols to make your password invulnerable to such types of attacks.
    • Be sure to change your Facebook password once every 2-3 months. If someone knows your password, he/she can't access your account after some time.
      • These are the common mistakes which people often make.
  • Never use passwords similar to your Facebook password. These passwords include:  password, password123, <your name>, <your boyfriend's/ girlfriend's name>, and <your pet name>. If your friends try to access your Facebook account, they'll try these passwords at first.
  • Never use the same passwords on multiple sites. For example, use three different passwords for your Facebook, Twitter and Google accounts. The reason for keeping multiple passwords on multiple sites is Because, for if someone has hacked one of your accounts, he/she can hack another account using the same password.

  • Third party apps are very dangerous and never allow them to access your personal information. Always use third party apps have good reputation on FB.
  • Keep a copy of downloaded FB data. Go Settings>General>Download a copy. Because sometimes hackers will delete your data after a attack.
  • Only add people who are real life friends.Only add people who are real life friends.
  • Only add people who are real life friends.
  • If you are celebrity just make a page on FB.
  • Don’t forget to personalize your settings
    • Settings>Security>Check the box secure browsing. This will also make your profile secure.
    • Settings>Privacy>Edit “who can see my stuff”
    • When posting or sharing you can choose friends.


Hope you will follow these steps and make secured FB account. Thank you!!!
