🔐 Privacy and Security Settings & Tips


Let’s be honest, Facebook is a great platform for connection and business—but it’s also a target for scams, hacking, and identity theft.

So... how safe is your account?


Why You Should Care

Your Facebook holds your:

  • Photos and videos
  • Private messages
  • Business pages
  • Linked accounts (like Instagram or WhatsApp)

If someone gets in, they don’t just access your profile—they could damage your brand or even scam your friends. 


Essential Facebook Security Tips

1. Turn On Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Add a second layer of protection with a code sent to your phone or authenticator app.

2. Review Login Alerts
Enable notifications when your account is accessed from a new device.

3. Check Your Active Sessions
Go to Settings > Security and Login to see where you’re logged in. Log out of anything suspicious!

4. Use a Strong, Unique Password
Combine upper & lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols—and don’t reuse passwords from other sites.

5. Control Who Can See Your Posts
Set your default post audience (Friends, Public, Only Me) in Privacy Settings.

6. Limit Profile Info Visibility
Hide sensitive info like your email, phone number, or relationship status from the public.

7. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links
Even if it’s from a friend—hackers often send scam links through hacked accounts.

8. Protect Your Business Page
Add trusted admins, use 2FA, and avoid giving full control to anyone you don’t fully trust.


Mind Questions..

  • Have you ever received a suspicious link in your Messenger
  • Have you enabled 2FA on your Facebook account?
  • If someone hacked your Facebook today, how would that affect you or your brand?


Note..

Update your privacy settings regularly. Facebook adds new options often, and some changes are set to "Public" by default.
