Until you acess your Facebook account from our personal computer, its not safe. When accessing from any public computer, cyber cafes or any other user's PC, there are lot more chances of leakage of your password or chances that you may forget to log out from it.

In such situations we can't do anything other than praying that no one should misuse your account login right.

But you need to get out of well because out there are too many ways that  you can have complete control of your facebook account from one place and you can remotely end your Facebook session of any location from anywhere.

Just read following steps carefully and make yourself more secure than before.

Shutdown Facebook Session from any other Computer

1. Open your Facebook account on your PC or mobile.

2. Now go to your Account Settings.

3. Now go to the Security settings and  click on Active sessions, you’ll get something like this:


On this screen you will be able to see your most recent activity on your account plus any other sessions that are currently active.

4. In case you find any unknown activity you can shut it off immediately by clicking on  End activity.

Apart from shutting down your unknown Facebook sessions you can even prevent unauthorized login by some easy methods.

Creating temporary password via sms for Facebook

This method is extremely useful just in case you are logging into your Facebook account in some public area like library, cyber cafe, airport etc. and you feel that your regular password is not safe enough.

Just type otp in your message and send it to 32665( or FBOOK). You will instantly receive a reply from Facebook with a new password that will be valid only for 20 minutes !

So just in case somebody gets a sneak peek of your temporary password, it would be completely useless!

You can get log in notifications via Email or on your mobile phone whenever you log into your account or if somebody else logs into it.

You need to follow certain steps to activate this feature:-

Select from Email or Text message , the choice is yours.
