A practical, step-by-step checklist to CHECK if your Facebook account is hacked and lock it down fast on iPhone, Android, or desktop. Open Facebook → Menu (bottom right) → Settings & Privacy → Settings → Account Center → Password & Security. Go to “Where you’re logged in” to review active sessions by device/location and SIGN OUT of anything you don’t recognize. Turn on “Login alerts” so you get in-app/email notifications for every new login. Next, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD to a strong, unique one (≥12 chars, upper/lowercase, numbers, symbols) and enable TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA) with your phone number—future logins require both password and code. Extra hardening: confirm you still control recovery email/phone, revoke third-party app permissions you don’t need, and audit login history regularly. Following this flow helps you detect unauthorized access early, kick attackers out, and prevent repeat compromises.
