You can never be too safe with your security settings online, so if you haven’t updated your Facebook security in a while, now’s a good time.
To make sure your accounts are as safe as possible, the platform has introduced the ‘Security Checkup’ feature. Using this you can review and add more security to your account.
Security Checkup will help you:
Get alerts when someone tries logging into your account from an unrecognized computer or mobile device.
Learn how to protect your password.
Enable two-factor authentication, an optional feature that adds more security to your Facebook account.

How to use Facebook’s Security Checkup?
First, launch your Facebook app and tap the three lines on the top right to go to the Menu
Scroll down to Settings & Privacy and select Settings
Choose Security and login under Security
You should now see the ‘Recommended’ option that says ‘Check you important security settings’. Tap this and you’ll be taken to Facebook’s Security Checkup
If your account is fully protected, it should say ‘No issues found’ at the top of the screen
The three main security settings it checks for are:
Your password is OK
The first is a password check to make sure that you have a strong and unique login. If you use your Facebook password elsewhere online then your account may be less secure.
Login alerts are on
If this is turned on, Facebook will tell you if someone logs into your account from a device or browser you don’t normally use.
Two-factor notification is turned on
This makes sure Facebook asks you for a code if it notices an attempted login from an unrecognised device or browser. You should never share these codes with anyone, as it could give a hacker access to your account.
