Login alerts are an extra security feature. When you turn on login alerts, we'll send you a text message, email or notification each time someone logs into your account from a new place.

To turn on login alerts:

1. Go to your Security Settings
2. Click the Login Alerts section
3. Check the box next to the type of alert (ex: text message) you'd like to receive and select Save Changes

Keep in mind that you need to add a mobile number to your account to receive text alerts.

After you turn on login alerts:

• You can save a device or browser to your list of trusted browsers or recognized devices. This way, you won't have to keep getting alerts about the computer or mobile phone you usually use to log into Facebook. Don't choose this option if you're using a public computer.
• If you ever receive a login alert from an unfamiliar browser or location, follow the instructions in the notification to reset your password and secure your account.
