Facebook wants to keep your Android device safe with Security Checkup

We’re constantly hearing reports about security breaches online so we can’t help but feel a tiny bit paranoid for our online accounts. Thankfully, big sites and social networks like Facebook are looking to help calm your fears. Facebook has brought its Security Checkup tool from its online site to Android app. Security Checkup aims to add another layer of security for Facebook accounts. It makes it easier to log out of Facebook from browsers and devices you haven’t used Facebook on for a while. It also turns on Login Alerts in case someone tries to log into your account from a new phone or computer. And it protects your password, too.

You can use the Security Checkup tool in the Facebook Help Center on your Android app or online via this link.

Pixel C is available in Canada and globally via the Google Play Store starting at $649 for the 32GB version, $799 for the 64GB version and the Pixel C Keyboard will set users back $199. These prices make the Pixel C one of the most expensive Android tablets ever sold, but you only need to spend some time with this device to realize its high end fit and finish.
