The social network Facebook, despite its immense popularity, has an extremely difficult system of settings to master. Not every user will be able to understand the many options for forming a feed, displaying personal data and security. The company, obviously, also understands this problem, and therefore recently presented a new tool with which you can finally understand how to protect your account from hacking.
A new tool called "Security Check" appeared on Facebook on July 30 and is undergoing preliminary testing. It is designed to quickly check the current security settings and fix problems if they are found. Over the next few weeks, you will be able to see an invitation to be verified on your page, or if you want, you can run it yourself.
Security Check is designed as a step-by-step wizard that will help you secure your account in three easy steps. First of all, we are invited to close sessions from programs that we have not used for a long time. You can do this right here from the drop-down menu with a list of detected sessions.
The next step is to activate notifications when someone tries to log into your account from a new device or browser. You can receive notifications directly on Facebook or in the form of letters to the specified email address. Thus, you will instantly know that attackers want to hack your account.
And finally, in the third step, you can change your password to a more secure one. Here we are introduced to recommendations for choosing a strong password, after which it is proposed to apply it right here. Now you will definitely be sure that access to your Facebook account is safe and under your complete control.
Of course, the functions described above are nothing new, but earlier they were buried somewhere in the depths of the settings system and hardly caught the eye of a wide range of users. Now it has become much easier to get to them, so you can hope that the maximum number of people will be able to secure their Facebook account from hacking.
