Keeping your Facebook account secure is critical—both for your personal safety and your business’s protection. This guide walks you through how to turn on two-factor authentication, set country and age restrictions to reduce spam, and find leads from Facebook Lead Form Ads.
Why This Matters
- Without 2FA, hackers can take over your personal or business Facebook accounts.
- Limiting your Page visibility by country and age helps prevent spam and irrelevant traffic.
- Knowing how to access your lead data ensures you’re not missing potential clients.
How to Turn On Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
This adds a second step to log in, keeping your account safe from hackers. From Your Phone (Classic Mobile Browser):
- Open Facebook and tap the ☰ menu (top right corner).
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Settings.
- Tap Password and security.
- Scroll and tap Use two-factor authentication.
- Enter your password if prompted.
- Choose your method:

- Text message (SMS)
✅ We recommend turning on 2FA for every platform that allows it.
