Facebook allows you to set up alerts for when a new login attempt occurs on your account. You can choose to receive a text or email notification when your account is accessed from a new device, giving you a real-time warning of potentially suspicious activity. There’s also an option to go one step further and utilize login approvals; this sends you a code via text, which is needed in conjunction with your standard username and password to permit a login from a new device. If you’re the one doing the log in, you’ll have the code. If it’s not you, you can prevent a bad actor gaining access. This also acts as a great prompt to change your password!
