Things You Should Know

There are plenty of things you can do to protect your Facebook account and prevent it from being hacked, like making a secure password.

Use Facebook's security features to check your activity on the social media site and make sure there aren't unknown logins.

Don't click links in emails that claim to be from Facebook and don't give away your login information if you're asked for it.

Choose a password that will be hard for hackers to guess.

- Your Facebook password should be difficult to guess, yet easy for you to remember.

- Avoid including your name, birthdate, pets, or common words in your password.

The longer the password, the more difficult it will be for others to crack.

- One way to create a strong password is to think of a long phrase or series of words that you can remember, but that nobody would ever guess.

- Always include numbers, a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, and symbols in your passwords. Aim for at least 10 characters.

- Try making an acronym out of a memorable sentence or song lyrics. For example, "I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road" could be iGTMhtthotR9! Who would guess that?

Do not use your Facebook password on any other website or app. You should have a different password for every service you use. For example, let's say you use the same password for Facebook as you do for TikTok. If your TikTok is hacked, the hacker can also gain access to your Facebook account.
