In this article, I’m sharing with you how to Set up Two-factor Authentication for Facebook. For security reasons, you need to launch or activate two-step verification, now available on Facebook after Gmail or connected Google services, Dropbox. Then, confidentially, you can use your Facebook account on a third-party iOS app for sign-up and registration. Using this way, you don’t need to enter your actual password; a temporary generated password for the app captures the reality of the official app, So there is no way to leak or copy your password by any third-party app using an iPhone/ iPad.
Setting up two-step verification in the Facebook iOS app should be difficult for new users, but it is a very useful and secure way, just like setting up two-factor authentication for the Gmail App.
Two-step verification: Most people are using Xbox, Spotify, Skype, and Jabber.
Steps for Enable or Setup Two-Step Verification in the Facebook iPhone App
For third-party apps to generate authentication passwords from the official Facebook iOS app, Below are the steps
Step 1: Launch the Facebook app on your iPhone > Tap on Profile Menu at the bottom-right Corner.
Step 2: Swipe Down to Tap on Settings & Privacy > Select Settings.
Step 3: Click on Account Centre > Tap on Password and Security > Select Two-Factor Authentication under the Login & Recovery Section.
We will ask for a code if we notice an attempted login from an unrecognized device or browser.
Help Protect your Facebook account – if we notice an attempted login from a device or browser we don’t recognize, we’ll ask for your password and a verification code.
Step 4: Choose an Account to Set up Two-Factor Authentication > Re-Enter your Password for Security > Click on the Continue Button.
Step 5: Tap on Additional Methods > You can see there are three Methods: first is an Authentication App, the second is a Text message (SMS), and the third one is the Security Keys > Choose an Authentication App > Tap on Next.
Facebook recommended the Authentication App method – in this trick, FB uses an app like Google Authenticator or Duo mobile or generates verification codes for more protection.
Step 6: Use your Authentication App ( such as Duo or Google Authenticator ) to scan this code > Tap on the + Button.
Step 7: Choose the Scan a QR Code Option > Click on Next.
Step 8: Scan the QR Code.
Step 9: Please Enter the Confirmation Code you see on your Authentication App > Enter the 6-digit code > Tap on Next.
Step 10: After this, Click on Done.
Step 11: The Authentication App Security Method is ON.
And follow the on-screen instructions. That’s Done!!
Text Message (SMS) – in this way, Use Text Message (SMS) to receive verification codes. For your protection, phone numbers used for two-factor authentication can’t be used to reset your password when two-factor is on.
Let’s choose one of them and click on the Continue button.
