facebook security options

6.12: summary:
. I enabled secure connection
so that facebook uses https
to encrypt the info it sends to me .
. while doing that I found an
even more important security feature:
if an attempt is made to log in
from a device I don't usually use,
they will text my cell phone
and ask me what was sent
to ensure the user also has my cell phone
as proof it is really me .

5.22: todo,news.cyb/net.fb/secure connection:

Facebook can be browsed using a secure connection.
While this adds an extra layer of security,
the secure connection (HTTPS)
is not enabled by default.
Go to General Account Settings/Security tab/
Edit Secure Browsing
to access the respective option .

Set up Code Generator?

Code Generator lets you approve logins
even when you can't receive text messages
or access the Internet,
by generating security codes directly on your smart phone*.
* Currently available on Android phones.

. I chose [not now]
... but it's not letting me save,
so, I choose ok, let's Set up Code Generator
(even tho' I don't have a smart phone),
now it says I can save my settings .

. another thing I had to do
to not confuse their system
is to not put in a new cell through the security interface;
go back to cell`profile and [add cell],
then find it still says my cell is not verified
even tho' the security gui just did that;
so undo everything by removing that new number;
now input the new number, verify it,
then do the [security code required] option,
choose let's Set up Code Generator
(even tho' I don't have a smart phone),
it reports an error but lets me save my changes .

You recently removed your primary phone from your account.
Because of this, we turned off login approvals on your account

If you want to use login approvals again,
you can add a mobile phone
and then turn on login approvals again.
