Change Your Facebook Security And Login Settings

In your Facebook account settings, Facebook allows you to adjust your security and login settings. To do this, click the “Account and Login” link in the left-hand column.  Here you can set the following:

Choose Friends to Contact if You Get Locked Out

This feature was made by Facebook to help users get back to their accounts anytime they get locked out through their trusted friends.

Facebook recommends that any user nominate 3-5 of his trusted friend’s contacts. The friends you select will be able to receive a recovery code with a URL that can allow you to get back into your account.

Where You are Logged in

This feature keeps the record of everywhere you are currently logged in or previously logged in including the logging time, device name, and IP address. It’s advised that you log out all sessions to keep your account safe.

Login Facebook Security

Here you are able to change your account password and set your account to log in with your profile picture.

It advised you use a strong password combination when changing your account password. Also, setting your account to log in with your profile picture might be risky as anyone can access your account easily once they can get your device. So it’s better you turn it off.
