JAKARTA - Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about sending emails from Facebook that will lock accounts that do not activate Facebook Protect.
"Your account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect," he said in an email, and went on to tell users that if they don't activate Facebook Protect by a certain date, Facebook will lock out of the user's account until they activate it.
Users are also asked to click on the large blue link button that is sent along with a notification from Facebook, which says "Activate Facebook Protect" to get started.
Many of the users think it is phishing or spam. However, it turned out to be not spam, but an official notification from Facebook.
Facebook is pushing for higher security for certain people in the public eye, and is also encouraging those on the list to adopt better security methods such as two-factor authentication.
If you get an email like the one we described above but don't want to press the mysterious blue button, you can start the process this way.
Go to your Facebook page. (You may get a pop-up notification about Facebook Protect) Click the arrow in the upper right corner, on desktop, or on the three-line "hamburger" icon on mobile. Select Settings & Privacy > Settings Select Security and Login on desktop or select Password and Security on mobile. Under Facebook Protect , you will see a note that “Facebook Protect is Off.” Click Get started if via desktop, or tap the arrow if via mobile.After that, just follow the instructions. If you have a strong enough password and have 2FA enabled, then you don't need to do anything else. You'll just get a message saying you're ready.
