How To Protect Your Facebook account From Hacker - 10 Ways To Keep Save 2022

 Facebook is an integral part of daily life for today's generation. If that Facebook account is hacked, then one has to suffer from extreme discomfort. Depending on the hacker's work, it sometimes affects our positive social identity, and sometimes comes at a cost. In order not to fall victim to this suffering, there are some things to be careful about.

1) Use a strong password for your Facebook account

Your Facebook account password must be strong. Avoid using any part of your name or date of birth or common words in your password. The password must be such that it cannot be easily guessed. Password must be at least 8 characters long. The bigger the better because then it will be harder for hackers or anyone to guess. Another key feature of a strong password is a mix of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, special symbols, and numbers.

2) Do not use Facebook password anywhere else

Use different passwords for all the websites you use. Again, the same password should not be used with only minor changes (eg, using the same password for another site with only the numbers changed); Rather they must be completely different.

3) Use a password manager if necessary

Using a different password for each website is naturally difficult to remember. In that case use password managers like 'Lastpass', 'Dashlane' etc. Passwords can be safely stored in them.

4) The same password should not be used for a long time in the Facebook account

The password should be changed every six months. This applies to all sites, not just Facebook. If you find it difficult to remember to do this, you can put reminders in your calendar.

5) It is better not to use the 'Remember Password' feature

This is especially applicable when you log in to your Facebook account with someone else's device. While logging in to Facebook “Would you like to remember your password for this site?” -displays a message like this. It is safe to select the 'Never remember the password for this site or the 'Not now' option without clicking on Remember password option. It is best not to log in with other devices, and even if you do, you can log out and change the password from your own device later.

6) Type the correct site link carefully

Sometimes it is wrong to enter the link of the site carelessly, for example, while writing facebook.com, the link is entered by typing face.com, Facebook. co, facebook1.com, etc. But beware! Internet phishers create trap links by changing the original link. So type the correct link. Bookmark the sites you use the most in your browser so that they can be accessed with one click; in this case, there is no possibility of a wrong link.

7) Turn on Facebook the  account login alert

You will be notified when your Facebook account is logged in from another device or browser, this is a login alert. Facebook notification, message, or text message on the phone - you can choose any medium through which you want to be notified. But in this case, it is best to choose the option to receive text messages on the personal phone number. Go to “Settings > Security and Login > Setting up extra security > Get alerts about unrecognized logins” to get the setting to enable login alerts. Don't forget to click on 'Save changes at the end.

8) Login Code Verification

It is a more robust security system. As a result, if you log in from an unfamiliar browser, you will need to confirm your identity through a code number. “Settings > Security and

• Login > Two-factor Authentication > Use Two-factor Authentication” This setting should be done by going in this direction. The code will be sent to the phone number you set there. Login can be done only after confirming that code.
• Go to Settings > Mobile > Time of Day (Choose when you want to get texts from Facebook) and save the setting by selecting the 'Anytime' option without giving a specific time of day.

Now that being said, you may not always have a phone with you. For example, when traveling by plane or in any other case. Then how to verify the code? A backup plan is in place to avoid this problem. In that direction, you will get the 'Recovery Codes' option, if you click on 'show codes' next to it, you will be given 10 codes. You can save them with a screenshot or write them down somewhere. Each code can be used once.

9) Trusted Contact

By going to the direction “Settings > Security and Login > Setting up extra security > Choose 3 or 5 friends to contact if you get locked out”, you can select some of your trusted friends, whom you ask for help in case of difficulties related to login to your account. In this case, you have to select those friends, who you believe will feel completely safe even if you temporarily have your Facebook account and will not face any harm.

10) Check where you are logged into your Facebook account

By going to the “Settings > Security and Login > Where you’ve logged in” direction, you can see a list of devices with which you have recently logged in and where you are now with the time and location. If any unknown device is detected then click on the log-out option immediately. It's also a great way to figure out if you can't remember if you logged out after logging in from someone else's device.

11) Other precautions for a Facebook account

• A known part of Facebook is Fake ID. Hackers or internet phishers can usually hack a lot of important and personal information after friending someone with a fake ID. So you should be very selective in accepting friend requests.
• Going to a public audience should not be shared on Facebook. It is best to keep the post private 'Friends' unless absolutely necessary. And it is better not to share personal information on Facebook.
• Anyone sharing a link on Facebook Messenger should not be accessed arbitrarily. In many cases, these links can be 'spam' or traps. So check the link carefully. Don't enter irrelevant links from strangers or semi-acquaintances.
• Links or messages that contain poor grammar, spelling, strange symbols, or ask for your personal information such as credit cards, social media information, etc. may be suspicious.
• Report any unwanted posts or messages on Facebook. If you are sure an ID is fake, report it too. If you click on specific complaint options while reporting, Facebook authorities will take appropriate action against it and remove any ID or post as appropriate.
• Use strong and updated anti-virus on your device. Scan the device regularly. Update all apps on your device regularly.
