  1. Facebook Security How to Staying in control of your Facebook Logins.

  2. Staying in control of your Facebook Logins • At Facebook, we are constantly working on new ways to protect you from scams and help you keep your account and information secure. Today, we're announcing some new tools and systems designed to keep the bad guys out and keep you abreast of suspicious activity so you can quickly take action to correct it.

  3. Login Notifications • Over the last few weeks, we've been testing a new feature that allows you to approve the devices you commonly use to log in and then to be notified whenever your account is accessed from a device you haven't approved. This feature is now available to everyone. • To try it out, go to the “Account settings” page and click on the link next to "Account Security" at the bottom of the page. If you select the option to receive notifications for logins from new devices, when you log in, you'll be asked to name and save the various devices you use to access Facebook. 

  4. Go to Account > My Settings. (From the account menu in the top right corner)

  5. Scroll to the Account Security section In this section you can check two boxes, the first to enable  a secure connection when possible, and the second to receive an email when a new computer or device accesses your account.

  6. First • For example, you can save your home computer, your school or work computer, and your mobile phone. Once you've done this, whenever someone logs in to your account from a device not on this list, will ask the person to name the device.

  7. Second • Send you an immediate email notification - and if you want, a text message - so that you're always up to speed on how your account is being accessed. This notification will provide steps on how to reset your password and remove the device, so you can quickly secure your account if it's being accessed from a device you don't recognize. • Not aware of any other service that does this, and we encourage you to try it out.

  8. Blocking Suspicious Logins • Built a new system to block suspicious logins before they happen. When we see that someone is trying to access your account from an unusual device, we'll ask the person to answer an additional verification question to prove his or her identity as the real account owner. For example, we might ask the person to enter a birth date, identify a friend in a photo or answer a security question if you've previously provided one. These questions are designed to be easy for you, and hard for a bad guy, and we've already seen some great results.

  9. Blocking Suspicious Logins

  10. Once you need confirmed your identity and have the opportunity to review recent logins on your account and reset your password if you see logins that you don't recognize. • You would not go through this flow often. System only ask you to prove your identity on the rare occasion that we notice something different. If you're ever asked to go through this flow, that is just Facebook's site integrity team saying "Hi" and that we're here to help you protect your account.  • After that, the confident that these new tools and systems will do a lot to prevent unauthorized logins and the nuisance they can cause. As always, though, the first line of defence is you. We need you to help by practicing safe behaviour on Facebook and wherever you go online.  • Be careful where you enter your password, and do not download suspicious-looking software.

  12. How to Control Your Facebook Privacy Settings • Facebook has added a new feature that allows your privacy to be compromised. For many frustrated users, Facebook has automatically opted people into this function. Even when you change this option and opt out, Facebook may still publish some of your information through your friends, so it's important to take active control of your privacy, as well as your children's privacy, on Facebook now. • Here, Jack Margo, the senior vice president of Internet Operations at Ziff Davis Enterprise, takes a step-by-step look at how best to restore your Facebook privacy.
