You’ve probably seen the posts circulating on Facebook that say, “My account got hacked!” or “Don’t accept this friend request from me, it’s a fake account!”

In the first instance, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) offers an additional layer of security and much better protection for your data and posts. 2FA often requires a verification code or security key—sent to another device, such as a mobile phone—in order to log into your account.

Chris Cummings, CEO of Petra Technologies, provides insight into Facebook’s 2FA options. He also offers a helpful tip for recognizing when a friend request may be coming from an imposter.
