The responsibility of monitoring your company's Facebook page is about more than
interacting with customers; it's also about preventing access to the account by
unauthorized users. Since your company page is linked through your personal
Facebook account, it's imperative that you keep close tabs on your account by
monitoring your login history regularly. This will allow you to view information
on who has accessed your account so you can end unauthorized access immediately.







1

Log in to your Facebook account and click on the gear icon in the right corner
of the screen. Select "Account Settings" from the drop-down menu.



2

Click on the "Security" tab.



3

Click on "Active Sessions," which is located towards the bottom of the Privacy
settings page. This brings up a list of your current and past Facebook logins,
including the location where the login took place, the type of device that was
used to access the site, and the day and time of the login.






4

Select the "End Activity" link to the right side of a login to immediately
logout from that location. You only need to take this action if there are logins
that you don't recognize.

Tips

 * If you are concerned about unauthorized activity in your Facebook account,
   you can enable login approvals on your account. This option requires users to
   enter a unique code every time they log in to their Facebook accounts. The
   code is automatically sent as a text message to the authorized user's phone
   when the login from an unrecognized device.
 * To enable login approvals, click on the "Security" tab in the Account
   Settings menu and click the "Edit" button beside the option for Login
   Approval. Check the box to require a security code for logins. You'll be
   prompted to enter the cell phone number that you want to use to receive login
   codes for your account.
