Secure Facebook Browsing

Here is something not a LOT of you may not have noticed. Even if you did notice, you may not have thought it was important. So, this is the deal.

Facebook has changed the possibilities of secure browsing and perhaps "forgot" to let us know. Take a look at your URL ... You probably do not have a secure session and can be hacked. (A secure session will have a little blue bar on the left hand side with the words "Facebook.com" captured inside it).

What you can do
1) Go to Account
2) Click on Account Settings
Facebook account settings, Secure Facebook browsing, How to make Facebook more secure
Where to change Facebook account settings

3) Look for Account Security - click Change.
4) Check the box (Safe Browsing) -  click Save. (FB had accounts in non-secure mode, but  not anymore!)

--- French Translation ---
Facebook a changé et a omis de nous le faire savoir. Jetez un oeil à votre adresse URL... Vous N'AVEZ probablement PAS une session sécurisée et pouvez être piraté. Allez au Compte - Paramètres du compte - Sécurité du compte - cliquez sur Modifier. Cochez la case (navigation sécurisée), cliquez sur Enregistrer. (FB a mis les comptes en mode non-sécurisé!)

  1. Thanks. My Facebook was not secure until now. It now has https on it. I hope no one hacks it.
