Social networking is a great way to stay in contact with family, friends and coworkers, but it is also a way for criminals to access your information and use it inappropriately. It is very important to set your security settings on Facebook as high as possible to prevent anyone from finding and misusing any of your information.

Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions
Secure Browsing
1
Sign into your Facebook account.

2
Click the drop-down arrow next to "Account" in the top-right corner of your page.

3
Select "Account Settings."

4
Click "Change" next to "Account Security."

5
Check the box under "Secure Browsing (https)." This setting enables encryption which encrypts the data on your page, therefore keeping it secure. Some applications and games may not work with secure browsing enabled.

6
Check the box under "Login Notifications" if you want Facebook to send you an email when an unrecognized computer tries to access your account. Click "Save" once you have checked the desired boxes.

Group Friends
1
Go to "Friends," "Edit Friends" and click "Create a List."

2
Enter the name for your friend list in the box at the top.

3
Select the friends you want included in each list, then click "Create List." You can use groups such as "Family," "Friends" and "Work." This will allow you to choose which friends see your posts and photos.

Prevent Searches
1
Remove your profile from Facebook search results.

2
Click on "Account" and select "Privacy Settings."

3
Click "View Settings" under "Connecting on Facebook."

4
Verify the box to the right of "Search for you on Facebook" shows "Friends Only." If it doesn't, click the drop-down arrow and select "Friends Only." This will prevent your name from popping up in Facebook searches unless it is one of your Facebook friends searching.

Go to "Account" and choose "Privacy Settings."

2
Click "Edit your settings" in the "Apps and Websites" section at the bottom of the page.

Uncheck the box next to "Enable public search." This prevents your Facebook profile from coming up when people search for your name with an Internet search engine.

Keep Information Private

Click the drop down arrow next to "Account" on the top, right of your page and choose "Privacy Settings."

2
Click "Customize settings" at the bottom of the list outlining information on your page.

Find "Contact Information" near the bottom of the page and click the drop-down arrow next to each section.
