If you tend to fall for Facebook posts like "Lose 18 pounds now!" or "WTF I can't believe this picture of you is online!" I can't help you. But if you'd like to secure your Facebook sessions from hackers and phishing scams, you're in luck.
Facebook is now rolling out a new security feature that enables HTTPS encryption throughout your Facebook session. This long-awaited feature, which encrypts data transferred during Facebook sessions, is designed to prevent attackers from compromising users' accounts.
Here's how to enable it:
Until now, the only way to enable HTTPS browsing was to manually enter "s" in the address bar, or to install an add-on like HTTPS Everywhere. Both options can still be used, but if you access Facebook from many locations it's recommended that you enable this new security feature.*
HTTPS security is being made available to Facebook users slowly, so though it might not be available to you now, it should appear soon.
