Want to login to facebook securely?
If you have been using facebook from a long time you would have realized that in the past, Facebook used HTTPS only when you entered your password. The feature is available on the whole site now and is strongly recommended if you frequently use public computers or access points like coffee shops, browsing center,airports or libraries.To enable this security feature, visit your Account Settings page, then choose "change" next to Account Security. Click the box next to "Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible." (Note: Encrypted pages take longer to load in this mode and not all third-party apps support https at this time.)
Using Friend's name on Facebook Status Message's?
You can now shorten the names of the people you tag, so, for example, you can only use a first name on the status message. To do this, type the person's name, select your friend, and once the name is highlighted in blue, hit the backspace button. This will begin deleting the person's last name—a handy trick if you're tagging a couple with the same last name.
Facebook Newsfeed can be irritating at times!
If app updates or a particular friend is over-sharing, hover above the post, click the X and select whether you want to hide the app or updates from that friend.

Using a single password for facebook!
when using Facebook on the go in hotels, cafes or airports can be a bit of a risk for your account's security. To try to maximize your security, use one-time passwords.To receive your one-time password, text "otp" to 32665 (FBOOK) on your mobile phone and you'll receive a password that can be used only once and expires in 20 minutes.

Want to see all friends news feed on facebook?
You may notice that stories from the same group of friends appear in your News Feed more frequently than others. That's because Facebook determines who you interact with most often, then displays updates from those Friends in your News Feed, unless you change the setting.

Advance login approval for facebook
Facebook's "Login Approvals" is optional, but recommended for all Facebook users. If you activate this setting, you'll be required to enter a code that Facebook sends to your mobile phone via text message whenever you log in to the site from a new device. If Facebook sees a login attempt from a device that you haven't saved, you'll be notified the next time you log in.
To enable this option, visit "Account Settings" then click "Account Security" and choose "Edit." Scroll down to "Login Approvals" and click the box to enable it.
