Use strong passwords
Always make a strong password with special characters and alpha numeric keys. This will be useful in protecting your account. Don't simply use a word or name or Date of Birth.The shorter your password, the easier it is to hack, especially if it’s a common word or name. A good starting point is six characters, though 8, 10 or 12 are even better. If you have trouble remembering, do something about that, else consider using an unusual phrase or combo of words that only you or a few people might know, then substitute some of the letters with digits and/or punctuation. It is advisable to use both capital and small letter in your password. Have a unique password. It should not be used by you for others such as e-mail or other social networking sites.
Don't make Everyone as your friend

Don’t believe all emails
As you know that honest web services will never ask you to do certain things in an email. For example, Facebook will NEVER send you an email asking you to change your password or enter personal details. If they need you to do that, they will tell you where in your account settings you can go to do that.On a similar note, protect your email account that you registered for Facebook with, else someone can succeed in resetting your Facebook password.
