1. Create a complex Facebook password and enable two-factor authentication
Choose a unique, complex, and unpredictable password to prevent unauthorized access and data theft. Avoid using passwords containing names, email addresses, or phone numbers, as well as common words.
Additionally, avoid using your Facebook password for other services. Never share your password with others unless you trust them completely.
Furthermore, utilize two-factor authentication to enhance the security of your account. This additional security feature will be activated every time you log in. You'll need to enter a verification code for each login attempt and whenever someone tries to access your account.
The implementation process is straightforward. Follow the steps below:
Step 1: First, go to the settings and privacy section using this link: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security
Step 2: When the settings and privacy page appears, on the left-hand control panel, select 'Password and Security.'
Step 3: In the account center tab, find and select the 'Password and Security' section on the left side of the screen.
Step 4: Click on the 'Two-Factor Authentication' option on the right side of the screen, then select the account you want to authenticate with two factors.
Step 5: Choose the dual-layer security method you prefer. For example, here, opt for authentication via text message.
Step 6: Press continue. At this point, the system will display a section to add a phone number for two-factor authentication when logging into Facebook. After filling in, press continue.
You'll receive a Facebook confirmation code via message shortly. Please enter it in the designated field on Facebook.
Once completed, Facebook will send you a notification stating “Two-Factor Authentication is enabled.” This means your Facebook account is now secured with two layers.
2. Assessing Roles and Permissions on Facebook Fanpages
Understand the different roles and permissions on your Page. Regularly check those with administrative rights on your fan page. If you've added a Page to Business Manager, carefully review the functions and roles of each person on the Page. A Page should also have multiple administrators to facilitate the restoration of administrator rights if you lose access.
3. Avoid befriending strangers
Many malicious individuals often create fake accounts to befriend and then deceive others, stealing personal information and money. If you befriend them, spam posts may appear on your timeline and be shared with your friends.
4. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or malware
Strange links are most suspicious when sent by unfamiliar individuals. Clicking on such links or files can compromise your Facebook account. Remember, Facebook will never ask for your personal password via email.
5. Set up trusted contacts
If your account gets locked, you can regain access by designating trusted contacts, such as friends or family. They'll receive a recovery code and URL link to share with you, enabling you to recover your account.
