Social media will make it harder to show you targeted ads.
Recently it became known that Facebook is leaking your phone number to advertisers, even if it is not listed in the profile. Including the one selected for two-factor authentication. If you are not satisfied with this state of affairs, you can delete it and use one of the special applications to protect your account.
How to remove a phone number from Facebook
- Go to the social network settings by clicking on the arrow in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Open the Mobile Devices tab.
- Under the phone, select "Remove" and then - "Remove number".
- Enter your account password and confirm the action.
If you don't have an email address attached to your account, you'll have to do this first.
How to set up two-factor authentication through a dedicated app
- Click the Security & Login tab.
- In the "Use two-factor authentication" item, select "Edit".
- Click "Get Started" and select "Authentication Application".
- Scan the QR code through the selected application or enter the specified combination manually.
- To confirm, click "Next" and enter the code from the application.
Ready! Now, when logging into Facebook, you will need to enter the key from the special program you have chosen, and the phone number will no longer be used.
