And its not a must that only a professional hacker can hack a Facebook account, It can be anyone who have a minimum common sense of using the proper information at proper place. Since Facebook is no where connected or bothered about the security issues of your email id, which are Gmail, yahoo and etc.. we cant guarantee that our Facebook account is in safe hands. If once you have lost access to your email address, you have obviously gained access to your Facebook account. It can be your any one from your family, friends , or a professional trained hacker, how ever it is, never give them a chance to hack your account. Let us understand few basic steps of
protecting Facebook account.
Protecting Facebook Account :
1)
Don’t Display your Facebook Account Id : This is a very common mistake which everyone does. We just display our Facebook login ID details in our info page on Facebook. Which is a direct hint to the hacker saying which ID you are using to login the Facebook account. If you are not getting my point.. Just watch out the screenshot below.
You can find this page in your info tab. I suggest you to remove your personal info like Email and
phone number soon. This is the worst way to tell a hacker what account you are using to login Facebook.
2)
Protecting Your Respective Facebook Account Id : This means, for example if you are using your Gmail account to login your Facebook account, You have to make sure that your Gmail account is properly secured. This is the most important concept which people usually forget to note. You can check out my previous post Strongest Way To Protect Gmail Account which will secure your Gmail account from any possible way to hack your account. And if you are using Yahoo mail or Any other mail service, make sure they are properly verified. Which means you have to verify it with other alternate email or atleast connecting with your phone.
3)
Keep Changing Your Passwords : You must change the passwords frequently to secure your account. You can use special characters in your passwords like !@#$ and %^&& to make it very tough for the hacker to crack it and guess it. Also remember that, you should never ever share your password with anyone. A strong password is always a plus point in protecting Facebook accounts.
4)
Connect Your Mobile Phone : You can connect your mobile phone to your Facebook account, so that when ever your account has been compromised. You can get a security code to your phone to get back to your Facebook account. You can connect your mobile phone in the Mobile tab in Account Setting Options. Take a look at the screenshot below.
You can also add more than one phone to your account to protect your account. Just go to Account tab in Facebook which is beside Home and Profile and again in Account tab, select Account Settings which will navigate to above options page. Here you can edit any information which you want to.
