Your Facebook account is your digital home, and it’s time to protect it. In a world where scams and fake profiles are rampant, staying vigilant on social media is more important than ever.
Take a moment to review your privacy settings, enable two-factor authentication, and be cautious about friend requests from unfamiliar faces.
Remember, securing your online presence not only protects you but also keeps our community safe.
Create a strong password
Use password(s) that is/are hard to guess. As much as possible, do not use common codes and do not share it with other people.
Set up two-factor authentication
This strengthens the security of your account by adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.
On the Facebook app: Tap the Menu button in the bottom right > Settings & Privacy > Settings > Accounts Center > Password and Security > Two-factor Authentication > Follow the steps.
Never share login information
Be cautious of fake websites. Personal information must be kept private; otherwise, your account is vulnerable to scams and duplication of accounts that can be used to deceive other users.
Never click suspicious links
Watch out for malicious software. These may be tools to damage or risk your account. Check the links wisely to see if they are legitimate; otherwise, report them directly if suspicious.
Clean up your friends list
It’s best to know who your friends are on Facebook and not to maintain friends you really don’t know. The ‘friends’ you have on Facebook can jeopardize your privacy, could tag you with inappropriate content, or fall for scams.
Be prudent and be vigilant in using social media platforms
Be wise and examine what is fake and true, and what is relevant or not.
