Facebook Account Settings (Security)

Security Question:  Here you select from a preset set of questions.  Remember If you pick something like Grandfathers occupation you can lie about it.  Say he was the president.  This will make it so that you and only you can answer this question and verify that it is you.

Secure Browsing: Check this box.  It makes it so that you will access Facebook with more security.  After you check this you will have https:// instead of http:// in the URL.  So if you see that you are in a http:// something is wrong.

Login Notifications:  You can be contacted via email or text or push notification.  This notification will let you know when someone has accessed your account.  So if you have not logged in for three days and your at work and cant log in and you get an email from Facebook that someone has logged into your account.  You will be prompted when you log into your account to say where it is that you are logging into from.  You can add or remove locations that have logged in to have access to your account.  This is a helpful tool that I use.

-Login Approvals:  You can create a more secure logon.  It will also delay your log on.  When you put in your username and password it will bring you to a verification window.  You then will receive a verification code by the means you set up.  While this is a great tool you need to keep in mind the worst case scenarios.  if it is sent via text and you get a new phone and phone number you wont get the code.  Or if you have it sent via email and you are unable to get into that account you will not be able to log in.  This can give you a headache quickly.  You have to find what works for you.

App Passwords:  You can set up passwords for the use with the different apps you use in Facebook.  You can set them to increase security but know that this will decrease the level of connivence of using them.

Recognized Devices:  If you have set up other security features this is where you can see what and who has permission to access your accounts.  You can see names of the devices and the dates they logged into your account.  You can remove devices that were used that maybe you just used one time and do not want to have continued access.

Active Sessions:  Here you can see all the sessions created.  Each time Facebook is accessed with your username and password it is logged here.  So you can see if someone has used your account with out your permission.
