Options On How To Secure Your Facebook Account:
Victims of hacked account is the fact that they are fooled most at times by people they know or think they want to help.
How My Account Got Hacked Was Just A Big Ignorance.
Imagine someone buzzed me pleading for me to login my Facebook account into a link he sent and that I should like and comment on it for him to win.
I refused replying but he kept buzzing me, so I decided to assist this young man just after I have logged in my details I couldn’t even see the post he claimed I should like for him to win. BOOM I got a notification that I have been logged out of my Facebook account. Tried resetting my password and I couldn’t.
Never knew the hacker had changed my email and phone number to his and I noticed my name changed to a white mans name.
Facebook started requesting for ID cards I didn’t have.
So after the experience I decided to go deep into security and settings and I was lucky enough to get just what I wanted and looked for.

- The Best Amongst All Is Simply The Option Of Use Two Factor Authentication.
This one is 99% safe but has its own disadvantage in the sense that, you need your phone close to you to be able to access the code sent to your sim before you can be logged into Facebook.
