How to protect your Facebook account from hackers

We spend all our time on social media. Among them, Facebook is a popular social media site. There are advantages as well as disadvantages. We often hear that Facebook ID is being hacked. One of the reasons for this is that the security settings of the ID are not fixed properly. The details are as follows:

1. Protect your Facebook account with a strong password and two-factor authentication

Choose a strong and unique password. Avoid with your name, phone number, email address or common words. Never reuse your Facebook password on other online services and never share your password with others.

2. Page introduction and permission review

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the various page introductions that exist and their permissions. We recommend regularly reviewing who has administrator access to your page in Settings, and when you add your page to a Business Manager, please take a moment to understand your permissions. We also recommend having multiple admins for your page, so that if you ever lose access to your page, someone you trust can help keep the page up and running and get you back.

People. Don't accept friend requests from people you don't know

Scammers can try to make people friends by creating fake accounts. Accepting scammers' requests may result in spam being posted to your timeline and shared with your friends. Scammers can tag you in posts and send malicious messages to you and your contacts, so we encourage you to be careful about accepting only friend requests from people you know and trust. Similarly, do not allow Business Manager on pages you do not know. You can request permission from the suspicious business manager here.

4. Beware of suspicious links and malicious software

Keep an eye out for links you don't recognize, especially if they come from people you don't know or don't trust. Be careful not to click on suspicious links, open suspicious files, or install malicious apps or browser extensions - even if they come from a friend or company you know. This includes links to Facebook, personal messages and emails. Remember that Facebook will never ask you for your password in an email. You can always verify that an email claimed from Facebook is true by reviewing recent emails sent to us in security and login settings. If you see a post or message that tries to tempt you to share personal information, please report it.

5. Set up trusted contacts

To help regain access to your account, and then your page, if you ever lock out, you can enable your friends to be your trusted contacts. They will be able to send you a recovery code with a URL to help you get back into your account.
