With the ever growing presence of social media,
there is a greater chance that your information
can be compromised online. Websites
often have 2 factor authentication setup for
additional security, for example, sending you a
message when someone tries to change your
account password. Below we will take a look at
the Security Settings of Facebook and why you
may want to use them.
To access your security settings on Facebook,
login to your account through facebook.
com, select the down arrow to the right of
your notifications icon at the top, then select
settings. On the left-side, select security to
see all of the settings available to you. From
this selection, there are an array of settings
that can be enabled to protect your personal
information.
Below is a bulleted list of options that are
available:
Login Alerts
Setup and alert when anyone logs into your
account from an unrecognized device or web
browser
Login Approvals
Your phone can be used as an extra layer of
security to keep other people from logging into
your account
Code Generator
Use the Facebook app to get security codes
on your mobile device to be able to login to a
computer for added security
App Passwords
Use a special password to log into apps instead
of using your Facebook password or login
approval codes
Public Key
Manage an OpenPGP key on your Facebook
profile and enable encrypted notifications
Your Trusted Contacts
Choose friends that you can call to help you get
back into your account if locked out
Recognized Devices
Review which web browsers you saved as ones
you often use (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.)
Where you’re logged in
Manage where you’re currently logged into
Facebook
Legacy Contact
Choose a family member or close friend to care
for your account if something happens to you
Deactivate Your Account
Choose whether you want to keep your account
active or deactivate it
Each of these options is available to be toggled
on or off by selecting it from the drop down list.
With the amount of information that is being
stored in the cloud, you can never be too
safe when securing your personal data. We
recommended that everyone setup these
security settings to secure your personal
information.
