How to activate two-factor authentication on Facebook: Check here for complete guide
Meta-owned social media platform Facebook allows users to enable two-factor authentication to increase the security of their accounts. Two-step authentication or 2FA is a security feature that helps protect your Facebook account from unauthorized access.
With 2FA enabled, your personal and sensitive information on Facebook is better protected from cybercriminals, phishing and other online threats.
If you set up two-factor authentication, you’ll be asked to enter a special login code or confirm a login attempt every time someone tries to use Facebook on a browser or mobile device. You can also receive alerts when someone tries to log in from an unauthorized browser or mobile device.
