How to keep your Facebook account secure from hackers?

Here are a few things that you can do to keep your Facebook account secure.

Protect your password

• Don’t use your Facebook password anywhere else online, and never share it with other people.
• Your password should be hard to guess, so don’t include your name or common words.
• Learn more about creating a strong password.

Never share your login information

• Scammers may create fake websites that look like Facebook and ask you to log in with your email address and password.
• Always check the website’s URL before you enter your login information. When in doubt, type www.facebook.com into your browser to get to Facebook.
• Don’t forward emails from Meta to other people, as they may have sensitive information about your account.
• Learn more about avoiding phishing.

Log out of Facebook when you use a computer that you share with other people

• If you forget, you can log out remotely.

Don’t accept friend requests from people you don’t know

• Scammers may create fake accounts to friend people.
• Becoming friends with scammers might allow them to spam your timeline, tag you in posts and send you malicious messages.

Watch out for malicious software

• Malicious software can cause damage to a computer, server or computer network.
• Learn the signs of an infected computer or device and how to remove malicious software.
• Keep your web browser up to date and remove suspicious applications or browser add-ons.

Never click suspicious links, even if they appear to come from a friend or a company you know

• This includes links on Facebook (e.g. on posts) or in emails.
• Bear in mind that Meta will never ask you for your password in an email.
• If you see a suspicious link on Facebook, report it.

Use extra security options

• You can also get alerts about unrecognised logins and set up two-factor authentication.
• If you’re logged in to Facebook on a computer, you can use Security Checkup to review your security settings.

Keep your Facebook account secure. Stay safe, feel safe.
