Step 1: Go to
Account Settings and
Enable Notifications
When you’re logged into
Facebook, you’ll see the word
“Account” in the top right corner
of the browser window. Click
there to get a drop-down menu
of options, then click on
“ Account Settings,” as pictured
below.
(You’ll end up looking at a page
that lists ways you can customize
your account, including “Name,”
“Password,” “Linked Accounts”
and “more.” As long as you don’t
navigate away from the
“ Settings” tab, you’ll see “Account
Security” close to the bottom of
the list. Click “change” on the
right to show the following
)

Check “Yes” when you see the
prompt, “Would you like to
receive notifications for logins
from new devices ?” Then click
“Save.” The feature is turned on.
Now we’ll show you how to use
it.







Step 2: Log In and
Register Your
Computer
The settings won’t be
customizable until you register
the computer you ’re logged in
with, so you’ll have to first log
out and then log back in. You can
do this from the “Accounts”
button in the top-right corner, as
we mentioned before. When you
log in again, you ’ll see a screen
titled “Register this compute

Type the name of the computer
in (it can be anything you want
as long as it ’s something you’ll
recognize and remember), and
choose whether you want
Facebook to remember this
computer or not.
Facebook suggests a good rule
of thumb: If the computer is a
public one (like one you’d use at
a library, a shared work
computer or a machine in your
school ’s computer lab), leave the
box unchecked so it will have to
be registered each time a new
login occurs, leading to an e-mail
or text notification.
If it ’s a machine you use every
day, then go ahead and check
the box; you probably don ’t want
to receive an email every time
you log into Facebook from a
safe place!
Now that your computer is
registered, you can see more
options when you revisit the
“ Account Settings” page where
you first enabled the
notifications. You ’ll see a history
of registrations; it won’t record
every time you log into a
computer that ’s already
registered, but it will record
every new registration, which
should include at least the first
time any tricker logs in.
You can check or uncheck the
option to have the immediate
notifications sent to your cell
phone via text message in
addition to the basic email
option......
