2. Do not distribute your secret key. There have been times when Facebook clients reveal their passwords to other Facebook clients, which prompt record hacking.
3. Never log into your Facebook account when out at an open spot. In any case, in the event that you think your companions are dependable (or your digital bistro is reliable) you can log in at an open spot.
4. Continuously have an extremely solid password that nobody can figure which should be long.
5. You are constantly invited to utilize numbers, lower and uppercase characters, images (&*^$#!!$$ %) to make your secret word immune to a procedure called ‘word reference assault” which are utilized by programmers who try to open your accounts.
6. Utilize a secret word quality programming from sites to check how firm your password is.
7. Make sure to change your Facebook key once every 2-3 months.
8. These are the regular errors which individuals regularly make. Never utilize passwords like your Facebook identification, your birthdates, your name or email. In the event that your companions attempt to get to your Facebook account, they’ll attempt these tries at first.
9. Never employ the same hint words for all your accounts. For instance, utilize three unique passwords for your Facebook, Twitter and Google accounts. Keeping various passwords switches off the chance that somebody hacks any other record utilizing the same secret word that he/she hacked another account with.
10. Customize your protection settings. This step is the central point to securing your Facebook account:
· Go to Settings > Security. On the top you’ll see an alternative called ‘Secure scanning’. You have to alter this choice and check the container ‘Peruse Facebook on a protected association (https) when conceivable.’ This will likewise make your Facebook record secure.
