9 Ways To Keep Hackers Off Your Facebook Account

1. Connect To Multiple Facebook Accounts
You probably noticed that you can’t login to more than one account on Facebook. However, if you use Chrome, there is a built-in profile feature that allows you to create a new user profile on your browser.

Click on the Navicon on the top right of your Chrome browser. Go to Settings.
Go to Users, and click on Add new user.
Choose your Profile Picture and give a name for that user.
Click on Create and a new Window will be opened.
You can now login to your Facebook account as per user profile and easily switch between users at the top right corner (see below).
This is available on Firefox as well.

2. Sync Facebook Calendar With Google Calendar
If you use both Facebook Calendar and Google Calendar to manage your everyday activities, you will need some time to manage both. Why not have your Facebook Events including birthday to sync with Google Calendar so that you don’t have to do it manually? Here’s how you can.

Login to Facebook and click on Events.
Go to the Calendar tab and click the Settings button on the top right then choose Export.
You will see "export your friends birthdays" and "upcoming events" in a hyperlink; choose either one and copy the link address. Let’s say you pick birthdays first.
Now, go to your Google Calendar page, look for Other Calendars on the left side of the page and click on the down arrow button then choose Add by URL.
Paste the link you just copied in the URL box and click on Add Calendar.
Repeat step 3 onwards with the events link to completely transfer all your events from the Facebook calendar to your Google calendar.

3. Accept All Friend Requests At Once
If you have a lot of pending friend requests list, you might find its tiring to accept all the requests one at a time. Apparently there is a way to accept all at once using a JavaScript code.

At your friend requests page, make sure to have all the requests loaded by scrolling down the page until the end.
Next, copy this JavaScript code:
javascript:for( i = 1;i<document.getElementsByName("actions[accept]").length;i++){document.getElementsByName("actions[accept]")[i].click();}void(0); and paste it in the address bar of your friend requests page.
Make sure to manually add javascript: at the front of the code once you have pasted it in the address bar because some browsers will automatically remove that line.
Press Enter and watch the magic happens.

4. Create Special "Via" Status (With Logo)
Normally when we update our Facebook status with our smartphone, the status will also include via "your device name" at the bottom of the status update. Instead of this being just for devices, you can change it to anything you can think of.

Just follow the instructions here to customize the "via" status of your Facebook post. this.

5. Stop Facebook From Tracking You
Yes, Facebook tracks whatever you do on the main site or on sites that use Facebook Connect. That is why you are being served ads that are relevant to information you have recently searched for. Creepy, isn’t it?

There is a way to regain some form of privacy for yourself, with a Chrome plugin called Facebook Disconnect. Facebook Disconnect uses JavaScript to disable Facebook component link traffic from being accessed by third-party sites. Once installed, this plugin works without further tinkering.
