Facebook, one of the most popular Social Media sites. Ah, I remember when all Facebook was just a place to keep college kids connected and not about crushing candy, telling your business, what you ate, selfies, spoiling T.V. shows, ambiguous messages, NSFW pictures, live videos, meaningless arguing over battles between heroes from different genres, ruining social interaction.... ok, ok, I digress this tip is not about all that.Have you ever got a request from someone already on your friends list? Your first reaction may be, Great another fake account which it could be, but sometimes it is in fact that person. Why did they make another account? Most of the time its because they forgot their password...
Instead of making page after page, let's take some precautions to keep your account safe and accessible.
- General Settings.
- Contact: Make sure your primary contact is an email that you use regularly and have access to (Stop rushing and using junk emails or emails that you don't plan on using on a regular basis)
- You can also add multiple email addresses, so that if you forget your password, you can have it reset and sent to one of your emails.
- Add your Phone Number as another way to reset our find your lost account.
- Security and Login Settings
- Here you can choose 3 to 5 trusted friends to help if you get locked out of your account.
- Also, its a good idea to turn on Get Alerts about unrecognized logins
Take the time to go through your Facebook Settings. Make sure that it is secure to your liking and that only the information you want is made public.
