Fred's Head from APH: Get Notified If Someone Logs into Your FaceBook
Account


With all the privacy issues surrounding Facebook recently, you may be
keeping a closer eye on your FaceBook account activity. Use this built-in
Facebook
feature to get notified when a computer besides your own accesses your
account.

Even if you've dug around Facebook's privacy preferences, you may have
missed this handy little feature. By enabling it, you can register your
computer
(and any other private computers from which you access Facebook regularly),
and receive email and SMS notifications when a computer other than one of
your
registered ones accesses your account. It's a nice safety net to have should
anyone ever get your password or otherwise hack your account.

To enable it:

list of 6 items
1. Head over to Facebook and log in.
2. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, click on the "Account" drop
down menu and select Account Settings. You'll be taken to a page with a
number
of settings, some of which you may have visited before.
3. Navigate to the bottom of the page, right above "Deactivate Account", is
a preference called Account Security. Click the "change" button on the right
side and you'll be presented with the option of enabling notifications.
4. The default is no, so click yes and then hit Submit.
5. Log in and out of Facebook and you'll be prompted to register your
computer.
6. Give it a name you'll remember and save it.
list end

From now on, if your account is accessed from a non-registered computer,
you'll get an email alert. Pretty handy for keeping tabs on your account!
