TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The social media giant Facebook is a platform to connect with friends as well as relatives. However, you should have controls on your account.
Facebook provides many simple features to help its users secure the account privacy. Based on Facebook written statement received by Tempo on June 25, 2018, here are the tips:
1. Conduct a regular security check
You can use Security Checks to review and add more security to the account. Security Checks help you to log out from browser and application which have not been used for a long time. You can also get notification alert when logging from an unrecognized computer or mobile device through email.
In addition, learn how to protect your password. Password strength is more vital than how often you change it. Do not use a Facebook password on other online platform and share it with anyone. You have to use a complex password which hard to guess.
2. Activate extra security feature
Facebook recently upgraded two-factor authentification feature. You can choose to receive the login code either via text message (SMS) codes or a third-party authentication app such as Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile.
The two-factor authentication offers more security to your account by which you will get notification noting login code when you try to login via a new device.
3. Review which application connected to your Facebook account
You have to conduct a regular review if you use a Facebook account to log in to other application. Try to visit Facebook settings page via application and website to review all the applications that have been connected with your Facebook account. This can help you ensure that the account is used for trusted apps and you use them on a regular basis.
4. Review your activity log
The activity log shows all your activity on Facebook starting with your most recent activity, including all your stories, posts you like, and comments, among others. You can try to click on a year (in the top-right corner) to jump directly to that period. However, only the user can see the activity log.
