Facebook can send you an alert every time someone accesses your account from an unknown computer or other device, enabling you to receive a warning that someone has gained unauthorised access to your account.
Still under Privacy Settings, click the second option in the left hand pane.
Click Edit next to login notifications and choose whether you want to receive an email or a text message/push alert. Click on Save Changes. Login notifications are now active
Turn on login approvals
Every time you access your account from an unknown browser you can get Facebook to send a code to your phone which you will then need to use to login.
Next to ‘Login approvals’, click Edit. Then tick the box to ‘require a security code to access my account from unknown browsers’. Click Save Changes.
Click Get Started. Facebook will then take you through the process of setting up login approvals.
Note, you’ll only need to use a code whenever you login from somewhere new so if you always use the same browser and phone you will not need to verify your identity every time. It does makes it much more difficult for a hacker to get into your account from elsewhere, so it’s a great thing to enable.
