I wrote a articles about protecting your Facebook account from hackers.

This articles will explain how to secure your account on Facebook from hackers.

Stop giving your email to stranger. I have a few tips for using them:

  • choose a password hards and don't give your password to people

  • your email address doubles as your Facebook username, change your privacy settings to hide your login email address from your public profile:

*Log in to your Facebook account and visit your About page.

  • In the left-hand column, click Contact and Basic Info.

  • your mouse over the Email field, then click the Edit button after it pops up.

  • Click the first down arrow to the right of the email address that you use to log in to Facebook, then select Only Me.

*Next, click the down arrow on the far right and select Hidden from Timeline.

*Repeat steps 4 and 5 for any other email addresses that you wish to hide.

Now that you have hidden your log in email address and selected an unbreakable password, you have the opportunity to use your cell phone as a fool-proof “lock” on your account. Here’s how:

  • Click the down arrow that’s located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

*Click Settings.

  • Click the Security and Login link in the left-hand column.

  • Scroll down to the Use two-factor authentication section and click the Edit button.

*Make your selections as required to set up Two Factor Authentication with your mobile phone.

  • Click Close.

From now on, any time you (or someone else) tries to log in to your Facebook account from an unknown device/browser, you’ll receive a text message on your cell phone with a security code that you must enter.
