Facebook took the wraps off Thursday on two new security features aimed at protecting users from phishers and other online scammers.
“At Facebook, we’re constantly working on new ways to protect you from scams and help you keep your account and information secure,” wrote Lev Popov , a Facebook software engineer, in a blog post late on Thursday afternoon.
“Today, we’re announcing some new tools and systems designed to keep the bad guys out and keep you abreast of suspicious activity so you can quickly take action to correct it,” Popov wrote.
One of the new features, now available to all Facebook users, is designed to allow users to approve the devices they use to log in and then be notified whenever their account is accessed from a device they haven’t approved, Popov wrote. (Users can access the new feature under the Account Settings page.)
