One of the biggest threats to our privacy, however, is to make available to all private information stored on the device managed by the APA own capital. Photos, videos, and personal messages may be revealed simply by opening the application Facebook . There is therefore the need to protect the private data through some preventive measures.

Here are five ways to make sure that any intruder from gaining access to your personal information:

1. Lock your device : Of course, you'll think. In fact more than 30% of people do not use a password to protect their mobile devices. In theory, this should be your first line of defense if the phone is lost or stolen. You should always have an access code, not just to protect your Facebook account, but also for other sensitive information. Think about the work email, important documents, banking information etc.. If you have an iPhone, you can enter a passcode on your phone by going to Settings General> Passcode Lock. You can also increase the number of characters and set the phone to their data from being deleted after a certain number of failed access attempts.
2. Use a different password for e-mail and Facebook Account : Three-quarters of users select one password for all their log-in and common codes are often obvious ("123456" and "password" at all). As you enter more digits, letters, or symbols you can dramatically increase the time it takes to discover your password. You need to create multiple passwords for your accounts, especially for Facebook that hosts tons of personal information.
3. Choose a protocol for safe navigation : Facebook has offered an option of safe navigation in 2011. Without a secure HTTP connection (HTTPS), the data are subject to attack every time you use a Wi-Fi (Starbucks, hotels, etc..).

Unfortunately, there is a downside: HTTPS encryption can slow your experience on Facebook, a common disorder already on the phone. Avoid unprotected Wi-Fi and 3G/4G used the service of your provider to prevent potential violations.

4. Enable notifications access and approvals : To ensure the safety of your Facebook account, you can set up a function (via this link ) that lets you know when and where you are logging. Facebook will send a notification for each login. After assigning names to the most commonly used devices, you will get a warning if someone breaks into your account from an unknown computer, phone or tablet. And if somebody violates your account, you may receive directions to reset your secret code and defend it.

5. Use "trusted contacts" : This recent innovation of Facebook allows you to select a small group of trusted friends. In case you do not have access to your account, either through the security questions, Facebook will send codes to these different friends. Once you have all the codes it could be done in again.
