Use Facebook without being found
This article is for you if you want to secure your Facebook account. Start with PROFILE INFORMATION privacy settings. Select "Only me" for your information you don’t want shared. For FUTURE POSTS, choose who can see them. STORIES options are public, Friends, custom, and hide stories from certain people. Turn commenting off if desired. LIMIT PAST POSTS to "only friends". Block people if necessary. Decide who can send friend requests – select FRIENDS OF FRIENDS for more privacy. For maximum privacy, set phone number and email address searchability to ONLY ME.

Important tips for account security
Password privacy is crucial. Use a secure, unique password. For extra security, turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). I recommend using an Authenticator App like Google Authenticator for 2FA. You can turn on alerts for logins from unrecognized locations. Review and remove unwanted apps and websites that have access to your Facebook. Your account is now private and secure.
