Facebook Security: What Every User Needs to Know
Facebook Security: What Every User Needs to Know
 |
| Keep Your Account Secure |
We have noticed that malicious actors are sending Business Manager partner requests containing phishing links. While we investigate this issue, we advise you to be cautious. Although these notifications may come from a legitimate Meta domain (facebookmail.com), it's important to be vigilant. If you don't recognize the person or business mentioned in the partner request, avoid clicking on any links.
Here are some steps you can take to protect your account:
Safeguard Your Password
- Avoid using the same password across different websites or apps. Your Facebook password should be unique and never shared with others.
- Ensure your password is hard to guess by avoiding personal information or common words. Use strong, unique passwords or passphrases for all your accounts.
- Learn more about creating a strong password.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication and Other Security Measures
- Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a special login code whenever someone tries to access your account from an unrecognized browser or mobile device.
- If you're logged into Facebook on a computer, use the Security Checkup feature to review and enhance your security settings, including setting up two-factor authentication.
- You can also opt to receive alerts about unrecognized logins.
Never Share Your Login Information
- Be wary of scammers who create fake websites resembling Facebook to steal your login credentials.
- Always verify the website's URL before entering your login details. If you're unsure, type www.facebook.com directly into your browser.
- Avoid forwarding emails from Meta to others, as they may contain sensitive information about your account.
- Learn more about protecting yourself from phishing.
