From freem


Activating 2-step verification on your Facebook account is a simple process that adds an extra layer of security to your account. Here are the steps you can follow to enable two-factor authentication on Facebook:

1. Log in to your Facebook account using your username and password. 2. Click on the down arrow in the top right corner of the screen, and then click on "Settings & Privacy". 3. Click on "Settings". 4. Click on "Security and Login". 5. Scroll down to the "Two-Factor Authentication" section and click on "Edit". 6. Click on "Get Started". 7. Choose the verification method you want to use. Facebook offers several options, including text message (SMS), authentication app, and security key. For the purposes of this guide, we'll use SMS as an example. 8. Enter your phone number and click on "Next". 9. Facebook will send you a text message with a verification code. Enter the code and click on "Next". 10. You'll see a prompt asking if you want to save your browser or device. Choose "Save Browser" if you're on your personal computer, or "Don't Save" if you're on a public computer or don't want to save your device. 11. Your two-factor authentication is now enabled. Facebook will prompt you to enter a code every time you log in from a new device or browser.

That's it! You've successfully enabled two-factor authentication on Facebook. This added layer of security can help protect your account from unauthorized access and keep your personal information safe.
