While it is not possible to make sure your own Facebook profile will not be compromised you can take some steps to lower the likelihood of some corrupt guy gaining access to your profile. Facebook is approaching 1 Million users and as such a lot of information is available through Facebook. You could unwittingly submit just enough info for somebody to steal your identity, or someone could post on your behalf after accessing your profile. This post may cause embarrassment, job loss or even legal action.

Here are many ways to help prevent the tension that can come with illegal access to your account

Informing the apparent: You should not talk about your personal password to any account with any person. Today you may be on good conditions but the next day may very well not be. It's sad to claim but you just never know what people are able to, especially if they're feeling as though they have been screwed.

Do not reuse passwords: You should not the same password for multiple sites. Reusing a password frequently increases the likelihood that a person will be able to steal your password. There are tools available that will store and generate passwords for you if you are someone who troubles with the number of passwords you need to know. One particular utility is Keepass. Using Keepass you will generate passwords for everything that requires one. You only have to set up a password for Keepass. Everything else is kept in the Keepass storage system.

Use complex passwords: If you are not using a password generator next use passwords that are a mix of letters (upper and lowercase), numbers and symbols. Don't use general keywords, birthday celebrations or brands. There are tools available which make cracking passwords made from dictionary keywords or nicknames very easy.

Activate https: If you are using http (which is the default setting for Facebook) you are at risk of being compromised. Programs that are accessible for Android devices and pc systems can gain access to your Facebook profile in just a couple minutes if they're on exactly the same wireless network as you.

If it's too good to be legitimate, it probably is: If you notice several likes for an image, a strange news story of something that appears a little far-fetched it probably is. Clickjacking is rapidly becoming a form of fooling members into revealing personal data about on their own including passwords and other personal information. Think before you just click.

Turn on log in notification: Facebook has a feature just like Gmail which sends you a alert when a person (hopefully you) logs to your profile. After successful sign in you receive a text message notifying you of the log in. The text information includes information on what to do if it wasn't you that logged in.

Change to on Login Approvals: You can also set up Facebook up to need approval of a sign in. Any time somebody (ideally you) tries to log in a message with a confirmation code is sent to you. The person trying to log in needs to enter the confirmation code to be able to continue.

Test to view active sessions: Look active sessions for activity that looks suspicious. If you take a look and see log ins coming from countries other than the one you live in your personal account may be compromised and you will change your password immediately. Be careful though. If you are using Facebook mobile the activity might not appear locally because the IP address is not provided by your ISP.

All these settings (and some others) could be managed by visiting the upside down triangle close to home then gonna Account Settings>Security.
