What is 2 step verification and why is it important for securing your social media accounts? This tool will help optimize your social media accounts for success and safety.
The last thing you need to happen to your social media accounts is to have them hacked and taken over. All the momentum that you would have generated would have been lost. It takes time to fix messes and time to regain lost ground on these social networks. I saw this as I was preparing this post on Twitter.
So i just posted two post and there gone hmmm… time to Activate my code generator. Hope You had fun on my facebook lmao

2 step verification enables you to lock down your social networks by using your smart phone as an extra key to log in with. Poor Rocky would have been safe had he used the Facebook Code Generator.
Remember this key point: hackers can get your username and password, but if they do not have your smart phone, they will not get into your Facebook account. 2 step verification can come via a Facebook text message or by using the Facebook Code Generator.
Here is an example of a smart phone using the Facebook Code Generator to generate a 6 digit code for final log in.
Once you start logging into Facebook with your username and password, you are taken to the next log in screen that requires a 6 digit code to finish the log in.
Without inserting the 6 digits into the verification screen, you cannot access the Facebook account.
This simple 2 step verification procedure prevents log ins to your Facebook account without your smart phone.
One thing I like about the Facebook code generator is that the numbers change every 30 seconds. There is no saying that number for later use. You have to enter the 6 digits before the time expires.
It’s 2 step verification systems like this that help secure our social media accounts from hackers and would be thieves. Your safety is worth using these systems to provide you with an extra layer of protection.
It is worth noting that your smart phone should be password protected as well. Don’t give criminals an easy in.
When it comes to your security, there is nothing 100% bullet-proof. But if you make yourself just a little bit harder to get into than the other guy, most hackers will simply move on to the next target. You need to employ strategies that make you harder to hack into.
Every time you log out and clear your cache, you will need to use the Facebook Code Generator, or enter the 6 digits from a text message sent by Facebook. Either option is very effective for securing your Facebook account from would be hacker and thieves.
So seriously consider turning on the extra protection that Facebook offers. Then build up some momentum and run like the wind. Do what you can to make your Facebook account safe. You will be glad you did.
So have a great day of business, and be safe out there.
