Facebook provides an extra level of security:
2 Factor Authentication, otherwise known as 2FA.
What’s Facebook 2FA?
If Facebook detects an attempted login from a device you don’t normally use, it’ll send you a secret code which you’ll need to enter into that device.
So if a scammer tries to hack your Facebook account, he’ll not be able to without that code.
Here are the simple clicks to check if 2FA is enabled on your Facebook account… and if it isn’t, how to switch it on.
