Facebook two-factor authentication
Is some stranger sending friend requests from your account? Did your Facebook account get hacked? More than likely you had a weak password or someone used social engineering to gain access to your account. Immediately, change your Facebook password and modify your security setting.
Most people use a password that is weak or common and use the same password on multiple accounts. Bad. A very bad idea. Passwords now a days need to be strong, very strong. As a matter of fact, you probably shouldn’t be able to remember it. Having a strong password is not the only way to prevent a hacker from gaining access to your account. Using two-factor authentication (2FA) can stop that hacker dead in their tracks. Two-factor authentication (2FA) allows you to secure your Facebook account after you enter your password.
