Facebook's Unique Security Feature

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Facebook's unique security feature
has the goal of stopping hackers
from exploring user's personal
information.

The feature will recognize computers/
mobile phones that are permitted access
to Facebook accounts.

In case of unauthorized activity, log-ins,
a user is sent an e-mail or text message so
he/she can take action- stop the hacker before
information is stolen.

Let's say you're not at home, but you want to
access your Facebook account. You jump-on aunt
Molly's computer, or cousin's Ada's cell phone,
but worry it's a new device.

You'll, still, be able to access your Facebook
account. You'll, simply, have to answer a security
question.

"We're confident that these new tools and systems
will do a lot to prevent unauthorized logins and
the nuisance they can cause," Lev Popov, a Facebook
software engineer, wrote in a company blog post.
"As always, though, the first line of defense is
you. We need you to help by practicing safe behavior
on Facebook and wherever you go online."
