Two Factor Authentication On Facebook. Every time a Facebook friend gets hacked, they have to send out messages to their real Facebook friends telling them, and advising them not to accept Friend requests from them. I always leave a message to them to turn on two factor authentication. It works by requiring an extra step to sign in on Facebook. You need to apply a code sent to your smartphone or other device in order to log on. Since the scammers don't have possession of your phone, they can't hack your account. Okay, it isn't foolproof, but it is the best thing you can do to make yourself a harder target. This article shows you how to turn it on. I am your Facebook friend, and I want to help you. I also am tired of posting messages about two factor authentication. Yes, it is cumbersome when you have to log in. But, once you log in on your devices, you can stay logged in, so the the inconvenience isn't every day. Of course, on a regular basis, you should log out of everything, turn off your machine or device, and re logon to all of your apps. But, that is a story for another day. Want to be safe, grasshopper? I have three words for you: TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.
