More than 1 billion people use Facebook around the world, and although it is a great way to keep with friends online, there are certain consequences if you are not careful when using the site - the unwary Facebook users are victims of choice for identity thieves. In addition to revealing too much personal information on your profile and using weak passwords, logging in to your account from multiple locations without signing off can be a dangerous habit. This can leave your Facebook, where you can have messages that contain personal information such as addresses, credit card numbers and more open to identity thieves.
Fortunately, Facebook has a feature to log out of all your remote sessions active, you are on your computer or smart phone. For example, if you signed your friends house one day and at the library a week before that, but forgot to log out, you can log into your account from your phone and disconnect these devices, even if you are hundreds of miles a way. We show you how to do it from your Facebook application for iPhone (very similar to Android and your computer):
Facebook for iPhone:
1. Go to sidebar and select "Privacy Settings"
2. Facing the "security" section
3. Go to "active Sessions"
4. Remove all active sessions that you currently use
