Last updated on January 17, 2022

Security is built into every Facebook product and Facebook offers several security features, such as login alerts and two-factor authentication, to help you add an extra layer of protection to your account. You can also review and update your security settings at any time.

Here are few important tips to keep your account secure;

Create a strong password and never share your login credentials with anyone.
Do not forget to log out of Facebook, when using computers shared with others.
Do not accept friend requests from unknown people.
