Facebook can be confusing, and no aspect of it is more challenging than account security. Whether it’s your personal or business account or your clients’, failure to protect those accounts can have serious consequences.
Facebook recently published a guide that addresses this concern. Although the 14-page PDF is aimed at “young adults, parents, and educators”, the advice applies to anyone.
You’ll learn how to choose passwords, evade scammers, employ advanced security settings, recover an account that’s been hacked, and stop people posing as you.
July 2017 Edit: The PDF is no longer available, but Facebook maintains a dedicated page, “Basic Privacy Settings and Tools” with the same info. Thank you for the heads-up about this from Comparitech, who also offers a great post on protecting your privacy on Facebook. Â
