Hello ! We have been seeing a HUGE increase in Facebook account hacking, so wanted to put together a little cheat sheet for you to review so that you can be sure your account is secure and not at risk.

**Facebook Account Security Cheat Sheet**

1. STRONG PASSWORDS

Use a unique and strong password with a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using common words or easily guessable information (e.g., birthdays).

2. ENABLE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATIONE

Go to Settings & Privacy > Security and Login > Two-Factor Authentication. Choose a second form of verification like SMS or an authentication app.

3. REVIEW LOGIN ACTIVITY

Regularly check Settings & Privacy > Security and Login > Where You're Logged In. Log out of unfamiliar devices and sessions.

4. UPDATE RECOVERY INFORMATION

Ensure your email address and phone number are up to date in Settings & Privacy > General > Contact.
Set up Trusted Contacts in Security and Login > Choose 3 to 5 friends to contact if you get locked out.

5. RECOGNISE PHISHING ATTEMPTS

Be cautious of emails or messages asking for your password or personal information. Verify the URL is facebook.com before entering login information. Never log into your Facebook from a link that has been emailed or texted to you - always navigate directly to Facebook and log in there. If you are unsure, forward to a close tech-savvy friend so they can review it as legitimate.

6. MANAGE APP SETTINGS

Go to Settings & Privacy > Apps and Websites to review and remove apps you no longer use or trust.

7. SECURE YOUR MOBILE DEVICE

Use a password or biometric lock on your phone. Ensure your device's operating system and apps are up to date.

8. REGULARLY UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD AND CONSIDER USING A PASSWORD MANAGEMENT APP LIKE ROBOFORM OR LAST PASS

Change your Facebook password periodically for added security. If you invest in a password management tool like Roboform or Last Pass then it can help you come up with very difficult passwords which it can then fill for you so you don't have to remember them. These tools will also pick up if you are on a website that is NOT the correct address.

9. LOG OUT WHEN USING SHARED DEVICES

Always log out from Facebook on public or shared devices.

10. MONITOR ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

Enable alerts for unrecognized logins in Settings & Privacy > Security and Login > Get alerts about unrecognized logins.

11. EDUCATE YOURSELF ON SECURITY

Familiarize yourself with Facebook's security features and updates by visiting the Facebook Help Center.

By following these steps, you can greatly enhance the security of your Facebook account and reduce the risk of hacking. Stay vigilant and proactive about your online security!

If you would like help implementing the above then we charge £20+VAT per hour if you come to us or £25+VAT per hour if you want us to travel to you. Just get in touch.

Did you know that Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook can talk to each other? I can get Excel to send hundreds of fully customised Outlook emails. I can get Access to generate customer specific Excel spreadsheets with graphs and stats. I can get Access or Excel to generate multiple PowerPoint presentations with customised data in each of them. I am a Microsoft Office VBA developer and programmer, and I build solutions that provide people with buttons to click and all their manual tasks are done for them. I can also create Power BI reports so that you can visualise your data. So in a nutshell - I can save you TIME. I live in Devon by the sea with my husband and 3 little girls, so am looking for a few new clients that may need my help a few days a month. Can I save you some time?
