Simple Facebook Feature to Protect Your Account

In the blue bar at the top of most any Facebook page, select Account > Account Settings. Scroll down to account security and click "change." Then select "yes" to be notified by email every time your account is accessed from a new computer or device. Each time you log on for the first time from a device, you'll name the device...."phone" or "work" or whatever you choose, and then you'll recognize that device's name when you receive an email. If anyone else logs on from any other device or location (or even a different browser in some cases), you'll receive a notification email. If you receive a notification email, and you know you haven't been logged on to a new device, you'll know someone else is accessing your account.

This is a fast, easy way to monitor your account security, so there's no reason not to use it!
