Facebook: How to activate Facebook Protect 

Are you also facing problems in accessing your Facebook account? It might be because you have not activated Facebook Protect in your account. The social networking giant is reportedly locking users out of their accounts if they have not activated Facebook Protect with two-factor authentication. Earlier this month, Facebook started sending out an email titled, "Your account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect" asking users to activate Facebook Protect by March 17.

For those unaware, Facebook Protect is a security program that helps high-target accounts to adopt stronger security protections by simplifying security features such as two-factor authentication. Along with this, it also offers additional security protection to accounts and pages and also monitors for potential hacking threats.

So, if you are also one of those who have not yet activated the feature yet, then follow these simple steps to do so.
