Most times your Facebook account will be logged in without your permission, simply because your login credentials are there already. To solve that, Facebook has launched a new feature known as Login Notifications or Login Alerts.

The feature is not just for your protection, but also for your control. That is to say, you’ll have total control of your information. Now, how can I enable the feature? Well, read on.
Facebook Login Alerts
Facebook has always been a prime target for hackers (Facebook Login Alerts) in order to access user personal information such as posts, photos, and as well as their videos. Due to that fact, Facebook added a feature that helps you to secure your account and get notified whenever someone is trying to get into your account.
In order words, you can improve the security of your Facebook account by getting an alert when someone tries logging in from a device or web browser that is not recognized in your account. The alerts will tell you which device tried logging in and where it is located.
The feature is simple and free for all users to access and use, but to receive alerts, the feature needs to be enabled on your account.
