Protect Facebook account - secure your privacy

The oldest social media platform Facebook is still used by many users worldwide. If you also use this channel, you should make sure that your data is safe from misuse. Because it happens again and again that people appropriate other people's data and use it for dishonest purposes.

How to secure your Facebook account

In terms of Facebook security, you should take the protection of your data into your own hands. To do this, there are a few aspects to consider:

1. Choose a secure password that you use exclusively for Facebook. Of course, this is more complex than using the identical password for different websites. So that you can still easily reset your password, you should add your cell phone number.
2. Many apps want to connect to Facebook when you use them. Especially for game apps, this can bring an advantage, but in terms of your data, you should do without.
3. Remove old Facebook-connected devices completely and also delete the application permanently.
4. Make sure that you do not appear in web ads. This way you can prevent companies from using your Likes for market research purposes. In addition, you will see specific advertising as a result.
5. Clean up your friends list. Facebook offers you an overview of the people you might know. However, only send friend requests to people you really know.
