In 21st Century,social networks has became one of the basic needs of man.Many of us spent hours on the most popular social networking site i.e 'FACEBOOK'.We post tons of pictures,statuses,etc.So it becomes necessary for us to safeguard our profile from evil eyes.Below are the best ways to protect your facebook account from hacking.
1.Create A Strong Password
Yes,the first step in securing our account is to generate a strong and unique password.If you use more than one social network then never keep the password same.Avoid using password such as your D.0.B,name,etc.which can be easily guessed by hackers.Use passwords which contain uppercase,lowercase,special symbols,numbers,etc.Eg:A#@Pr23,p$Tm86H
2.Keep A Security Question
Sometimes facebook temporary locks our account due to security reasons.To get back our account it gives us two options.1.Answer security question
2.Identify your friends from their profile pictures.
I would recommend to go with the first one because its simple and easy.You just have to answer your question.
Incase of second the problem is,sometimes your friends may change their profile picture and you may not be able to recognise them.
To keep a security question Go to Account>>Account settings>>Security.
3.Never Share Your Password
Avoid sharing your password with anyone not with your best friend too.4.Remember To Logout
Whenever you login from a new place,it may be your friend's mobile,PC or from somewhere else,make sure that you logout.5.Do Not Accept Unknown Requests
Yes,this is the biggest mistake many people do.Avoid adding any unknown person to your friends list.6.Do Not Click Any Suspicious Link
Avoid clicking any long links.Most of the time it is in the comments of popular pages.Don't worry,official pages will never share any harmful links.Just be alert while clicking any links posted in comments.
Stay Alert,Stay Safe!!!
