The first is a login alert, which will send you a notification by email or text when someone tries to access your account from a new location. Turn on this feature from the login alerts section of your security settings page.
In addition to login alerts, login approvals provide an enhanced level of security by asking you to enter a special code when you use your account from a new device.
To activate this feature, click “Login Approvals” from your security settings page.
Click the box that says “Require a login code to access my account from unknown browsers” and save the changes.
The next time that you use Facebook from an unknown browser, you’ll need a login code, which you can only get from your phone. Of course, that means you’ll need to have a phone number linked to your account.
After activating login alerts and login approvals, it’s a good idea to visit the Security Checkup tool to help you log out of Facebook remotely from unused browsers and apps.
