Facebook is the most-used platform in Bangladesh, which also makes it the biggest target for scammers and account hijackers. Losing your account can mean losing years of memories, business pages, and contacts. The good news is that most attacks succeed because of simple, avoidable mistakes. Here's how to lock your account down.
Quick Answer: The most important security step for Bangladeshi Facebook users is enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via Settings → Password and security — this blocks account hijacking even if your password is stolen. Also avoid clicking unknown links in Messenger, never share OTP codes, and check active sessions regularly.
Turn On Two-Factor Authentication
If you do only one thing today, do this. Two-factor authentication (2FA) means that even if someone steals your password, they still can't log in without a second code.
- Go to Settings & privacy → Settings → Password and security.
- Turn on Two-factor authentication.
- Use an authentication app or your phone number to receive login codes.
Key takeaway: a strong password can be stolen, but 2FA blocks the vast majority of account takeovers even when your password leaks.
Use a Strong, Unique Password
Reusing the same password across Facebook, email, and other sites is one of the most common reasons accounts get hacked in Bangladesh.
- Use a long password mixing letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Never reuse your Facebook password anywhere else.
- Change it immediately if any service you use reports a data breach.
Your email account is the master key to your Facebook, so secure that with a strong password and 2FA as well.
Spot Common Scams
Most account takeovers in Bangladesh start with a scam message, not a technical hack.
- Fake "you won a prize" or lottery messages asking you to click a link or share a code.
- Phishing pages that look like Facebook's login screen but steal your password.
- "Is this you in this video?" messages that lead to fake login pages.
- Friends in trouble asking you to send an OTP or bKash money, when their account is already hacked.
Never share an OTP code with anyone. No real company or friend will ever need it. When in doubt, go directly to the official app or website instead of clicking a link.
Check Where You're Logged In
Attackers often stay logged in quietly after stealing access.
- In Password and security, open Where you're logged in.
- Review every device and location.
- Log out of anything you don't recognize, then change your password.
Also review connected apps and remove any old games or third-party services you no longer use, since these can be an entry point.
Be Careful With Growth Services
Many Bangladeshi users lose accounts to shady "get free followers" sites that ask for your Facebook password. Never enter your password anywhere except the official Facebook app or site.
Legitimate growth services never need your login. GetmyFollow, for example, delivers real engagement to your public profile or page and never asks for your password. If a service asks you to log in through their site, treat it as a scam and walk away. You can grow safely using proper Facebook SMM services that only need your public link.
If Your Account Is Already Hacked
Act fast to limit the damage.
- Go to facebook.com/hacked to start recovery.
- Change your password and your email password immediately.
- Warn friends not to trust messages from your account.
- Turn on 2FA once you regain control.

FAQ
Is it safe to give my password to a follower-boosting app?
No. Never give your Facebook password to any third-party app or website. Real services only need your public profile or page link. Password requests are a major red flag for scams.
What should I do if a friend asks me for an OTP code?
Do not send it. Their account is almost certainly hacked and the scammer is using it to break into yours. Contact your friend through another channel to warn them.
