To all social media managers and people on social networking sites, getting kicked out of your Facebook or Instagram can be downright scary. But don’t worry, we have got your back. Let’s discuss about something super important: keeping your accounts safe from those sneaky hackers.

Hackers are getting sneakier by the day, and we need to be smart about our online safety. With systems crashing and devices getting swiped, it is crucial to safeguard your online platform. But fear not, because we have got a superhero in the form of 2-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Before we jump into 2FA superpowers, let’s talk about one big no-no – sharing personal info in those direct messages (DMs). Whether it’s your passwords, phone numbers, or birthdates, keep away from this. We don’t want any bad guys getting hold of it!

Let’s continue to talk about the superhero of the online world – 2-Factor Authentication. It’s like adding a secret code to your password. Even if someone somehow gets access to your password, they still need this special code to get in. It’s like having a double lock on your digital door.

How to Activate 2FA:

Step 1: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of your Facebook page. A little menu will drop down choose “Settings & Privacy.” Next, pick “Privacy Center” – this is where you start securing your social media.

Step 2: Inside the Privacy Center, find a blue link that reads, “See more in Accounts Center.” Click on it, then choose “Password and Security.”

Step 3: Look for “Two-Factor Authentication” and click it. Facebook will ask for your password to make sure it’s really you. Enter it, and you will see a screen similar to the image below:
