Facebook is the most popular social networking sites in the world. People used it to connect with their friends and family members. From many times, the cases of account hacking and data leak are coming forward which made it important for us to keep our account protection from all these hackers. Earlier, there was no solution to it except changing the passwords from time to time. But Facebook has devised the solution of dealing it with these problems effectively.
Now Facebook has introduced special tools for showing account hacking its exit. Let’s know what are these tools and how we can use it to protect our Facebook account.
Personalise Newsfeed- By personalising your newsfeed you will be able to know why all types of post are appearing on your Facebook account. Facebook gives the option of reducing the newsfeed post and choose the particular types of newsfeed which you want to see. In this way, you will find your preferred posts and not even get in touch with other unwanted users.
Manage Facebook Data- This is a new privacy shortcut of Facebook which helps the users to manage the data of their account. The shortcut also tells you how it controls your data. Now there is an option of the control panel in facebook through which a user decides how and where the facebook will use the data of your account. Apart from managing the location data, users can also manage the things like contacts uploaded on Facebook, face recognition setting, ads preference etc.
Two Factor Log-in Authentication- Facebook has introduced the special security feature of protecting an account. Apart from protecting your account with a password, you have another way to keep your account protected. The name of this new feature is Two-Factor Authentication. If you activate this feature in your account then you will get a social code whenever a person tries to log in to your account with the wrong means. The only task you have to do is confirm that this account login practice is done by you or under your knowledge. If you will reject the confirmation, then a person will not be able to login to your Facebook account.
Limit the app data- With this feature Facebook has reduced the requests sent by other apps for getting the access data of the users. Now, these apps only have access to the name, profile picture and email address of a user. For accessing anything excluding these three requires the permission of the account holder.
Report Abuse- Now users can report the posts, photos and videos posted on Facebook if they find it irrelevant. All the reported contents are reviewed by Facebook if it will be against the policy and community of Facebook then Facebook will remove that content from their platform. We will also tell you that the identity of the user who did report abuse are kept confidential.
Therefore, protecting your facebook account from hackers have become a piece of the pie. Just simply follow these shortcuts and keep your account secure.
