7.One-Time password
This Trick is rarely used by people but as this post is for security, I am mentioning about this. One-Time Password is used when you are not feeling comfort to enter your password specially when you are, may be, in the college library,in your friend's home or anywhere as such. In order to protect your security, Facebook recommends using a one-time password to log into it from such places.
Method:
One-time passwords are not available if you have login approvals turned on, So for tuning off the login approvals,
Go to your Security Settings ( Click and select Settings, then click Security)
Click the Login Approvals section
Check the box and save your changes
Now, Check out your country Here and which mobile carriers support this feature and what number you should use.
Once you get your code, just enter it in the Password section of the Facebook login page.
Note:Your one-time password will be valid for 20 minutes and can't be reused.
