How to Enable 2-Step Verification

Once you have signed up for Facebook, you can choose to enable a 2-step authentication on Facebook. That will allow you to enhance the security of your Facebook account, requiring you (and anyone else attempting to access your account) to enter a verification code that you will receive on your smartphone. But before sticking to our instructions, make sure that you have linked your Facebook account to your mobile phone.

• In the first place, you should go to the main webpage of Facebook and sign in to your account.
• Once you have logged in to your Facebook account, you can start the process of enabling a 2-status authentication. Click on the “Settings” button, pictured in a form of an arrow pointing down and placed in the right-upper corner.
• In a pop-up menu that you have just triggered, you should select “Settings.”
• On the left side of the settings page, you will see different sections of the settings of your Facebook account. There, you must click on the “Security and Login” section.
• Once you have got to see the page of your security settings, you should click on the “Edit” button next to “Use two-factor authentication.”
• On the next page, you have to click on the “Get Started” button.
• Then, you will be asked to re-enter the password of your account. Type the password in the provided field and click on the “Submit” button.
• Following it, select a way of receiving verification codes: Text Message or Authentication App. Click on the “Next” button.
• Eventually, you will receive a verification code and you should enter it in the provided field.
• On the next page, you will notice a notification, saying that the 2-factor authentication feature is on now. Click on the “Finish” button.
