Today people are addicted to social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. We are hearing the hacking news of social media accounts very often. Hackers may collect your personal information. Today security is a top priority of all sorts of businesses across the world, particularly mobile app development companies in Los Angeles have considered it seriously with advanced security measures for the social media apps they develop.


So if you’re very serious about security, follow the below steps to secure your account. 

Secure Facebook Account

Here some of the best ways to secure and protect your Facebook account.

Login Alert:

You will get notification by email or SMS when somebody logged in to your account. This you can enable at Security Settings>Login Alerts Section> Type of alert. In case you get a notification from an unknown login session, you can change your Facebook login credentials.

One Time Password

The two-factor authentication is one of the most effective ways used for secure login. You will get an OTP, so you can login securely. The code generator is available only for Android and iOS devices only.

Secure LinkedIn Account

Security for LinkedIn is more important as this is a professional networking site and any attack on your account may result into a huge loss. The hackers not only take your data from your profile but also they can access your private emails with employers and this is something that can be a huge problem for you.

You can log in to your LinkedIn account through OTP, which you can get at Settings > Privacy > Security > Two-step verification.

You can make your non-followers don’t see your tweets. Below are the techniques for secure login.

Verify Login Request

These options can be found by clicking on your profile image on the top right, where you have to go through this - Account > Security > Login verification. You will get an SMS with the code. So by using this code, you can login to your account.
