Now Facebook is largest social networking website in the world, it has over 500 million visitor. :) More than 1 billion photos are uploaded every month by its users. And over 70% of whom use applications like games and quizzes in Facebook. But unfortunately, most users don’t know the implications of entering personal information, making friends, and playing games on Facebook :( . 


This guide help you to secure you facebook account. :)

1.Create Friend List: Friend Lists are the foundation of your Facebook privacy settings. Select Friends from the top menu, and use the Create link to create friend lists like Co-workers, Family, College Friends, etc. Your friends can’t see your lists, so you can name them whatever you like. :)
 

2. Customize Profile Privacy: Click Settings > Privacy Settings > Profile. and customize your profile privacy and Select which parts of your profile will be seen by whom.If you choose Customize in the drop down, you can be more specific to customize your profile privacy :)

You also go to the Contact Information tab and select how you want your contact information to be shared on the Internet. :)

3.Facebook Privacy Level for Photo Albums: On the Photos tab of your profile page, click Album Privacy and customize as your choice :).

6. Protect Yourself from Friends’ Applications: Go to Privacy > Applications, and click the Settings tab and uncheck all the boxes. Because these settings control what information about you is visible to applications installed by your friends. By default, these are set to visible. :( This means that your religious,political preferences, sexual, and pictures, etc. are readily available to one of the million worldwide Facebook application developers, each time any of your friends takes a quiz, plays a game, or runs any other Facebook app. This is obviously a Facebook privacy issue.

 

 7. Control Automatic Wall Posts and News Feed Updates: Your all actions in Facebook such as comments, likes, appear as highlights on ALL your friends’ home pages. You cannot use friend lists here, only turn them on or off. Go to Privacy > News Feed and Wall and choose whether you want your facebook friends :)

Here you can see all the applications you have authorized to get access to ALL your profile information. Remove the ones you no longer need and also check the list of applications Allowed to Post and Granted Additional Permissions to remove unwanted ones.

 

10. Account Security : Go to Account > Account Settings, click on the Account Security click on the 1st bubble for login notification via SMS. It's Add extra protection to your Facebook account. :)
