How to turn it on

If you’re wondering why you can’t access your account today, it’s probably because you haven’t activated Facebook Protect in your account yet. In early March, Facebook began sending an email titled “Your account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect” to select users, urging them to enable Facebook Protect in their accounts by a specific date or else they are at risk of being locked out of their accounts.

The Verge notes that the email came from the address – security@facebookmail.com – which resembles a common form of spam mail and was therefore ignored by many users. As it turned out, the email wasn’t spam. It was Facebook trying to contact the high-risk users to protect their accounts until March 17th to protect themselves from being locked out of their accounts. Now, those people who didn’t turn on Facebook Protect before the deadline are getting messages about why they can’t access their accounts and what they need to do next.

However, things are not that simple. There have been reports on Twitter that Facebook users who have been banned from their accounts have been banned before the deadline despite enabling the feature. Also Read – Judge, Jury, Executioner: Facebook Tries to Be Everything, But Why?

Some users have also reported technical issues retrieving their text-based two-factor authentication codes on their phones.

Notably, Meta announced back in December last year that it would soon require its highest-risk users to protect their accounts with two-factor authentication. At the time, the company said its high-risk users, which include select journalists, human rights activists, government officials and other users who could be targeted by cybercriminals, enabled a feature called Facebook Protect on their profiles.

If you haven’t activated Facebook Protect in your account yet, here are step-by-step instructions on what to do:

How to enable Facebook Protect on your account

Step 1: On Facebook, click the down arrow on the top right corner.

Step 2: Click Settings & Privacy and then click Settings.

Step 3: Click on Security and Login.

Step 4: Under Facebook Protect, click Get Started.

Step 5: On the welcome screen, click Next.

Step 6: On the Facebook Protect benefits screen, click Next.
