Don’t want people hacking into your Facebook account? Want to know if a different computer or mobile device tries to access your account? look at the address bar while you are on Facebook. Look at your URL address. If you see http:// instead of https:// then your Facebook session is not secure and you can be hacked.
Go to : Account (top right)
Account Settings
Account Security and click Change.
Check at least the first setting. FB defaults to the non-secure setting.
Consider whether you need the email with regard to your account being accessed by other computers and mobile devices. Check that too if you want to know. It will mean the next time you go onto the Facebook site it will ask you to name your computer. It is something which can annoy you, but you can decide whether it is worth it or not.
If you play Facebook games it might want you to change from the secure setting. you just change it back for the rest of the session.
