Logins and passwords

First, it’s worth checking the integrity of your account. To do this, you need to check the address from which you last logged into Facebook with your username and password.

To do this, go to “Security and Sign In” and check the location, device, and time of the last time your account was accessed. If the data matches your location and your devices, your account is safe.

Password

Your password is not only important for protecting your Facebook account, but it’s also important for protecting data at other sites. Your password should always be as long as possible, with numbers, letters, and special characters.

Authorization message

Facebook can set up authorization notifications, and it’s worth using them. That is, every time you log in to your account, you’ll get notifications about the device from which it was performed.

Two-factor authentication

Suppose you really care about security and protecting your data. In that case, you should already know about this type of authentication and use it when logging in to other resources.

In Facebook, this authentication provides for login in addition to a password, use another smartphone, email address, and the like.

Standard security rules

Never enter data for logging into your account on dubious sites, do not follow unknown links and do not download suspicious applications.

It is also recommended on Facebook to close your profile and leave access to it only to your friends, if necessary only to authorized users of the messenger.
