How to protect your Facebook account from getting hacked

Apart from this, I will also teach you to set up Trusted contacts and use Trusted Contacts (if you lock your account) and keep your own password secure.  

For this, we can use 2 methods, so let’s know.

Method 01: Accessing Someone Else’s Facebook Account

Friends, let me tell you that it is not possible to legally crack someone’s Facebook password, but if you can access someone’s email address or their text message, then you can access it on their account.  

If that person has added you as a trusted contact (you know how to contact them), then this method allows you to access their account.

Let me also tell you that this method can also be used at a time when you are a close friend or relative of a person who has gone missing, is in trouble, or has for some reason told you  Have asked to use an account.

If you are signed in on your own account, then by clicking the drop-down arrow in the top-right corner of the page and selecting Log Out, sign out of your account now.

Friends, it is located under the password box in the top-right corner of the sign-in page.

Let me tell you that according to the account settings, Facebook will either automatically send a 6-digit code to the email address or phone number you have entered or show you the list of accounts.

If you do not have access to the email address or phone number you entered, Didn’t get a code?  Click on and go to the next step.

Now Facebook sends a 6-digit code to your selected address.  

If you cannot access any account in the list, then you will have to go to the next step.

 It will be given below options.

If you are not able to reset the password successfully, then a reset link will be sent to the email address or phone number you entered here.

If you do not see the option of revealing Trusted Contacts, then skip to the next step.

Let me tell you that Facebook prompts its users to assign trusted contacts to their accounts to use in case they are ever locked.  

If the user has trusted contacts (and you know at least one of them), you will see a list of their trusted contacts and must have those contacts to generate a recovery code. Look ahead how we will do it:

Method 2. Accessing Someone Else’s Facebook Account

Friends, if you have failed to access the account through the previous steps, then you can get a message saying that without accessing the email or phone number associated with the account, you will not be able to log in.  

If you have been given any other option, such as the option of answering security questions or identifying some specific friends of a given user, then follow the instructions to access the account.

If you still fail to access the account, then you can then search for the document in the person’s computer in which they store their passwords.  

If they had prepared such a document, it might have been named “Passwords” or “Logins”.

If you are trying to access an account of a missing person or a legally trapped person, then contact your local authorities.  

If law enforcement has a proper warrant, then they can access anyone’s Facebook account.

How to set up trusted contacts

Friends, let me tell you that adding 3-5 friends to your Trusted Contact List can be helpful in Recovering your Account when you accidentally get locked out of your account.  

Manu is present in the blue bar, in the top-right corner of Facebook.

Settings are at the bottom of the menu.

It is present at the top of the left column.

It should be below the “Recommended” header at the top of the page. 

A pop-up window containing details of the trusted contacts will appear in front of you.

Friends, enter the name of the Facebook friend you trust.  To do this, start by typing in the name of your friend.  

When you type, a list of friends will appear while you match. Now as soon as the correct name of your friend comes in front of you, click to add them to the list.

Add at least 2 more contacts.  You can add up to 5 contacts in total.

In such a situation, the selected friend will now be added to your trusted contacts list.  

Friends, follow these steps if your account was locked and you have to take help of Trusted Contact.

Friends in Facebook login page Forgot account?  Click on, then follow the on-screen instructions to search your account name, entering an email address or phone number.

Friends, click Reveal My Trusted Contacts and type in the name of a person you have added.  This will display all your trusted contacts.

Email or text the link to all your trusted contacts and ask them to open it.  

Once they log in to their accounts, then they will be asked to send a code to let them login back to your account.

How to Protecting Your Facebook Password

Step 1. 2-Enable factor authentication

Friends, let me tell you that this feature fails almost every attempt to access your account without permission.  

Whenever trying to access from an unknown device, a code will be sent by Facebook to log in to your mobile number.  Without this code, the intruder (any other person) will not be able to access your Facebook account.

Step 2. Use a unique password

Friends, avoid using names, birthdates, home addresses, or real words in your password, as they can be guessed very easily.  

Friends, your password should be a combination of words and letters in random order.  

The longer and random your password, the more difficult it is to crack.  And the more secure your account will be.

Step 3. Use a different password for each online account

Friends, most people use the same password or the same type of password everywhere.  

But if you use the same password for your email, online banking, and Facebook account, 

then it becomes easy for people to hack all your information by knowing your password in one go.  Create different and unique passwords in all these online accounts.

Step 4. Don’t forget to logout from Facebook

Friends, if you are using someone else’s computer, phone, or tablet, then it will be especially important to do it. 

You should remember to log out even if other people have access to your computer.

Step 5. Use a firewall or antimalware protection

Friends, confirm that your antivirus and antimalware is up-to-date and only sign in with a secure firewall.  

As long as your computer is protected with these features, you will be alerted whenever a hacker tries to capture your password by installing keylogging software. And you can survive.

According to the law, employers have to tell their employer that their keystrokes are being recorded. Accessing another person’s Facebook account, without his / her permission, is a violation of personal privacy and is also illegal. Before hacking anyone’s account, do think about it. (alert-warning)
