If you have registered your mobile number with Facebook and have enabled the text messaging feature for your profile as well, you can easily enable the two-step verification on your Facebook account.

When the two-step verification is enabled, every time you try to use a new device to log on to your Facebook account, before allowing you to use your profile, Facebook asks for the PIN number that you specified while enabling the feature.

You might want to enable the two-step verification for your Facebook profile in order to ensure that only the authorized and approved devices are used to access your Facebook account, and no one is able to forge your Facebook profile by any means.

Here’s how you can enable the two-step verification for your Facebook account using an Android smartphone:

    ■Turn on your Android phone.
    ■Tap the Menu icon to go to the apps list.
