Almost all of us are Facebook addict these days. We believe that facebook is safe and secure Well the statment holds true if you follow the facebook wisely. The developers of facebook have done really a tremendous job. They have provided the best features that have ever been in a social networking website. But the thing is that they offers you all the features, they dont provide you all of them from the beggining. You must be using facebook for a long time but i ask you a simple question, how many times have you been to the account settings? Hardly a couple of times, isn't it? When we log in to facebook we see our friends, some cool apps some videosn den we logout. Hence we hardly get time to change the settings of our account. But hold on soulja boy, you got a lot more to do.
Today i am gonna tell you about how you can increase the security level of your facebook accunt. A normal Fb page generally opens in "http" which is not secured. The secured form is "https". Fb allows its user to use their pages in "https". You must be wondering that "WTF IS HTTP AND HTTPS". Well thats a good question. And the answer is
"http" stands for "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol", the primary technology protocol on the Web that allows linking and browsing where as, "https" is "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol" with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), another protocol primarily developed with secure, safe Internet transactions in mind.You can learn more about https, simply google it and go through the results.
OK. So this much was enough, and now we can jump to the procedure to change your Fb from http to https...
all you have to do it to FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
► Login to to facebook.
► Now go to account settings, by the "account" drop down menu as shown:
In this page search for something called "Account settings" and click on the "change" button
► As you click the "change" button you will see soe options, on of which reads "
| "Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible". Check the box anfd now you will access fb in https. You can even add the machine you get signed in from most times. Fb will send you a notification message if you or ayone else logs in from any other machine. So this mean that if someone gets to know yourpassword and he gets to his pc and signs in from your id then you will get notified soon and if you feel that you have been hacked then you can simply logout your profile by simply replying the message. This reduces the chance of geting hacked to a great extent. This has been illustrated below: | |||||||||
