How to Change Facebook Primary Email

Another way to make your Facebook account secured is to change the primary email. Although Facebook provided some useful tool like code generator which generate pin that you need to enter everytime you use your account in unknown device.

Enabling this security feature in Facebook is easy, if you have a mobile device or smartphone, you can simply add your mobile number or install the Facebook application. Complete tutorial found in my previous article how to add security to Facebook account.
