Secure setting for Facebook Users. Being hacked is a terrible thing.

[PuritanCovenanter]

I was told by my ex that I should look on the bar on top make sure it is https://. Then it means secure.

We got hacked on Facebook.

Pastor Underwood told me to...

Go to your Account / Setting / Security. You will find an option for it down there.

He was correct. All I had to do was choose the option. I hope that helps.

Thanks for this! I just made the change!

I made the change, too. Thanks.

N.b. Those that play games like Farmville will not be able to do so with the https:// in place. I don't play games, so it's not an issue for me, but I thought it worth mentioning here.

Thanks for the tip. I love using https:// for browsing, so seeing Facebook has that as an option is very reassuring.

But as soon as you return to FB, you are. It's only while you're in a third-party app that it disconnects from secure, and there is a warning box before you make the change.

Thanks for that, Randy!
