When you enable 2FA,\u2062 Facebook will require an additional\u2064 code before you are able\u2064 to successfully log in.<\/p>\n<p>In order to use 2FA, you will have to register a secondary code. This code is either \u200dsent\u200b to \u2062your\u200c mobile phone number or generated\u2062 by \u200dan\u200d authentication app. Once you receive the \u200bcode, \u2062you\u2019ll need\u2064 to enter it\u2063 along with your password to access your Facebook. Here are\u2062 a few tips for \u200dkeeping \u200dyour Facebook secure with 2FA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only\u2063 give your\u2062 phone number to reliable sources<\/li>\n<li>Use an authentication app that\u200c generates\u200d a strong random code<\/li>\n<li>Make sure \u2062the code \u2064is kept up-to-date<\/li>\n<li>Enable \u200clogin alert notifications from \u200bFB so you\u200d can stay aware of all changes to your account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To ensure maximum protection, you should also change your \u2064password \u2063regularly. Using complex combinations \u200bof\u2062 characters, numbers and symbols will make it much harder for hackers \u2064to guess or brute-force \u200byour password. Additionally,\u2064 you should refrain \u200cfrom using the same password across \u200cdifferent accounts.\u200c This way, even\u2063 if one \u200bof your accounts is compromised, the intruders won\u2019t be\u2062 able to\u2063 access your other accounts.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-what-is-two-factor-authentication-and-how-does-it-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_What_Is_Two_Factor_Authentication_and_How_%E2%81%A3Does_It_Work\"><\/span>2.
