These days, hacking on Facebook has become rampant and common. A lot of people have seen their Facebook accounts being hacked by an unknown set of persons.

These hackers might take confidential information from the hacked account, as well as revealing the person’s privacy to 3rd parties, and also use other vital information found in the person’s account to the detriment of the person.

As technology increases, cybercrime increases as well. According to reports from Cybercrime security ventures, cybercrime damages will cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015.
Some of us may have suffered from the damages caused by these bad hackers, while some have seen people suffering from hacked Facebook accounts.

Due to the incessant attacks from these bad hackers, Facebook has now introduced a new feature that will enable its users to safeguard their accounts from these black hat men

This new development from Facebook comes with a Two-Factor Authentication method.
Once you enable this feature, you will need a login or verification code every time you want to login into your Facebook account from a new device or browser, thereby reducing the chances of your account being hacked to the slimmest margin.

A verification code will be sent to the phone number you selected. Copy the code and paste it into your account to finish setting up your Two-Factor Authentication.
