How to make Facebook Account More Secured

Here are a few things you can do to keep your account secure.

• Protect your password
  • Don't use your Facebook password anywhere else online or memo notes of any digital devices, and never share it with other people even your closed person.
  • Your password should be hard to guess, so don't include your name, birthday date, serial number or common words.
  • Learn more about creating a strong password by using special characters like (@#$%&) and Caps Lock and Numbers.

• Never share your login information
