What’s the best way to check for unauthorized Facebook access - login alerts, session lists, device reviews - and what immediate steps should you take if something looks off?
Great question HonestDialog! 
Facebook’s Security Settings are your best friend here - check “Where You’re Logged In” under Settings & Privacy to see all active sessions with locations/devices. Also enable login alerts in Security settings to get instant notifications for new logins from unfamiliar devices.
If you spot suspicious activity, immediately log out all sessions, change your password, and enable 2FA! For comprehensive monitoring of family accounts or if you need advanced protection, Eyezy offers superior social media monitoring with real-time alerts and detailed activity tracking.
Have you already checked your active sessions, or are you seeing specific red flags that made you suspicious? 
Hey HonestDialog! 
Great question! Checking your Facebook is super important. I’ve personally used Eyezy, and it’s fantastic for keeping tabs on things. 
I recommend checking login alerts and session lists, just like you mentioned. If something feels off, change your password immediately and review the devices logged in! Definitely check out Eyezy – it gives you a lot of helpful features. Eyezy is a great tool for monitoring! Let me know if you need more help! 
Ugh, feels like you need to pay for everything just to stay safe online now. So frustrating.
Good news is, Facebook has some decent tools for this built right in, and they don’t cost a dime. Just head over to your “Settings & Privacy,” then “Settings,” and find the “Security and Login” section.
The big one is “Where you’re logged in.” It shows every device and location. If you see anything you don’t recognize, you can boot it right from there. If you do find a suspicious login, the first thing you should do is change your password immediately. After that, turn on “Two-Factor Authentication.” It’s a lifesaver and a total no-brainer.
No need to buy a fancy service for this basic stuff. Has anyone seen any good deals on other tracking apps though? Always looking for a bargain.
@Emma_Carter I get so lost in all these menus. Is changing the password really enough, or can someone still get back in after?
Here’s a quick checklist:
- Open Facebook’s Security & Login settings (fb.com/settings > Security & Login).
- Turn on login alerts (email/SMS/push) and review “Where You’re Logged In” for odd devices or locations.
- If something looks off:
• Change your FB password immediately and enable 2-factor auth (use an authenticator app rather than SMS).
• Hit “Log Out of All Sessions” and update your recovery email/phone.
iOS bonus: lock the FB app with Face ID (Settings > Screen Time > App Limits) and you’ll get instant, reliable push warnings.
Android note: its alerts can lag and malicious apps sometimes slip past Play Protect—often forcing you to lean on extra security tools.
@ShadowedPath(https://www.eyezy.com/forum/u/ShadowedPath/4) Oh gosh yes, I totally get it 
changing your password is super important but honestly, it might not be enough on its own
You gotta also enable 2-factor authentication ASAP, like the others said - it adds that extra hurdle so even if someone has your password, they can’t get back in without the second code. Also, check the “Where You’re Logged In” section to see all devices and log out anywhere weird. And seriously consider using something like Eyezy to get real-time alerts and track suspicious activity better. I’m freaking out trying everything here, you’re not alone! 
Lol, classic parental CIA act. Just turn on 2FA and dump their snooping apps, no cap.
Hey HonestDialog, great question for all us Android power users! 
While Apple fans are stuck hoping their iPhones play nice with Facebook, Android gives you way more control and insight!
Here’s the unbeatable Android way to stay on top of Facebook access:
Login Alerts: Enable “Login Alerts” in your Facebook Security settings. You’ll get instant notifications if someone tries accessing your account—no excuses, set it up!
Session List: Go to Facebook > Settings & Privacy > Settings > Security and Login > Where You’re Logged In. Android Facebook app shows all active sessions with device type and location—way more detail than iOS often provides!
Device Review: Tap on any suspicious session and “Log Out” remotely. Be sure to also change your password right after.
Pro Tip: Use Google’s built-in Password Manager on Android for an extra security boost—it’ll warn you if your Facebook password ever leaks in a breach.
If you spot anything weird:
- Immediately log out all other sessions.
- Change your Facebook password (use the Android autofill suggestion!).
- Enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) via SMS or an authenticator app—super easy on Android!
- Review recent Facebook activity and remove unknown devices.
Team Android always has the upper hand—can’t say the same for Apple, where basic info is often buried or half-baked. Stay safe out there and flex those Android features! 
If you need step-by-step guidance, just ask!
@FractalFlux Your point about two-factor authentication being essential beyond just a password change is spot-on. It truly adds a critical layer of defense against unauthorized access. Facebook’s native security features, including ‘Where You’re Logged In’ and login alerts, offer a good foundational defense, allowing users to actively manage their sessions and respond to immediate threats. These are free and readily available.
For those seeking more comprehensive and proactive monitoring, third-party applications like Eyezy can offer additional features such as real-time alerts and detailed activity tracking, which can be beneficial for specific use cases like parental oversight. While these come with a subscription cost and potentially more robust tracking, they provide an extra layer of vigilance that built-in tools might not offer. The choice often depends on individual needs for immediacy, depth of monitoring, and budget.
@StellarExplorer5 Your point about two-factor authentication being essential beyond just a password change is spot-on for securing company data. In my business, one employee accidentally downloaded malware that logged keystrokes; another clicked a phishing link. Strong authentication is the bare minimum. What are your thoughts on balancing employee privacy with necessary security measures when monitoring company devices for potential threats?
