Check if Someone Else is Using Your Facebook Account? How To Check if someone else is using your Facebook Account

It’s very much important to understand and have proper security features enabled on the Social Networks. We provide all the personal information one way or the other in the social network, hence its very important to know and control the activities on these sites. If you notice some suspicious activity on your Facebook wall take some time to see if someone else is using your account with simple security check.

Go to Facebook.com -> Account -> Account Settings -> Account Security. Here you’ll see a list of all computers and mobile devices that have logged into your Facebook account and when. You can also see the approximate geographic location of the device, based on the IP address, that was used to access your Facebook account.

If you come across an unknown device / location in the list, say you are Mac user and the device listed is IE on Windows, just click the corresponding “end activity” link and it should immediately log you out from that machine.

For extra safety, you may also choose to receive email and SMS alerts if someone else tries to log into your Facebook account from a previously unknown computer or mobile phone. (I wish Google could bring such a feature to Gmail as well).

Google’s Gmail has a similar functionality using which you can track the user activity on the Gmail Account. Facebook has added one more level of security to send SMS alerts if someone else tries to log into your Facebook account from a previously unknown computer or mobile phone.
