How to Check if Your Facebook Account is Secure

Is your Facebook account secure?

Will you like to know if your account is secure or not with just a click of a button?

Weak security setup is among the reason why many are losing their Facebook accounts to hackers on a daily basis.

Creating a weak password makes it easy for hackers to guess.

If your password is weak, then what a hacker needs to penetrate your account is only the email address associated with your account or the phone number.

Remember, passwords created with dictionary words like mylove1990 or with only numbers like 080567467577 are just as easy to hack like the ones created with 12345 only.

Having a strong Facebook password is the number one security decision you will have to make to keep your Facebook account safe.

Apart from passwords, there are other security settings you will have to turn on for you to pass the Facebook security level test.
