Facebook Security | Login Approvals

Found a good page for Facebook security (https://www.facebook.com/security/app_268616169836752) The PDF here is a great resource for people who want to know how to lock down their FB accounts.

The one thing I would recommend that I don't see in the PDF document is  their 2-factor authentication (Login Approvals) which will send users a code to their phone to enter in addition to the normal log in process.

To enable Facebook Login Approvals...

     1. Log into Facebook

     2. Go to Account Settings

     3. Open Security Settings

     4. From here you can enable Login Approvals

     5. You will be prompted to re-enter your password

     6. Enter your mobile phone number you wish to receive text messages on

     7. You will then receive and enter the confirmation code you received on your phone.

     8. You are now setup with Login Approval

     9. At this point you can setup your mobile application as a code generator.

     10. Enjoy a little peace of mind.

     

If you are seeking more peace of mind try enabling Secure Browsing, Security Browsing, and/or Login Notifications. As always think before you click and be careful.

Here is an excerpt from the PDF  mentioned above document for quick review.

 Top Tips for Staying Secure on Facebook

• Only Friend people you know.

• Create a good password and use it only for Facebook.

• Don’t share your password.

• Change your password on a regular basis.

• Share your personal information only with people and companies that need it.

• Log into Facebook only ONCE each session. If it looks like Facebook is asking you to log in a second time, skip the links and

directly type www.facebook.com into your browser address bar.

• Use a one-time password when using someone else’s computer.

• Log out of Facebook after using someone else’s computer.

• Use secure browsing whenever possible.

• Only download Apps from sites you trust.

• Keep your anti-virus software updated.

• Keep your browser and other applications up to date.

• Don’t paste script (code) in your browser address bar.

• Use browser add-ons like Web of Trust and Firefox’s NoScript to keep your account from being hijacked.

• Beware of “goofy” posts from anyone—even Friends. If it looks like something your Friend wouldn’t post, don’t click on it.

• Scammers might hack your Friends’ accounts and send links from their accounts. Beware of enticing links coming from your Friends.

Remember to STOP | THINK | CONNECT!

End of a chapter!

Last day of a job today. It was bittersweet hearing all of the nice things co-workers had to say about my work over the past few years. Really going to miss the people I've worked with.

Thanks for the memories.

Welcome to my thoughts...

Hello world,

Decided to give blogger a try today... I wasn't exactly "feeling" my old wordpress blog (kbisdorf.wordpress.com).

Basically I'll be posting things I learn, things I do, and things I just feel I need to share. Most posts will be IT related as I am a recent graduate and getting my feet wet in the security field. I have been doing help desk for 2 1/2 years and am looking forward to a change of pace.

I hope to share more with you as my life becomes more interesting...

FYI: planning to cancel my TV subscription soon which means I'll have more time to spend doing other things.

Best,
KB
