Pro-tip: Secure your Facebook with HTTPS

If you’re like me, you probably access the web over wireless, even free/public wireless. Don’t get your Facebook hacked over something simple.  Take the 13 seconds and update this simple setting in your Facebook Account.

  1. Log into Facebook.
  2. Click on Account
  3. Choose Account Settings
  4. Under Account Security, click change.
  5. Enable the checkbox for Secure Browsing (https).
  6. Hit save.

Facebook account settings - https

What this does do? It encrypts the connection for everything on Facebook so you don’t get your cookies sidejacked.
