Two-factor Authentication for Facebook

Katherine Fry By Katherine Fry · March 4, 2024

Hello! We have an important reminder for all business owners who manage their Facebook Business Pages through personal accounts. You must activate two-factor authentication for your accounts by NEXT FRIDAY!

This is not a suggestion; it is required to ensure the security of your business presence on Facebook.

This is not a suggestion — it is required to ensure the security of your business presence on Facebook. Losing access to your Business Page means losing your reviews, your ad history, and your audience.

Why The Urgency?

Two-factor authentication strengthens account security by requiring a second verification step beyond your password, making unauthorized access dramatically harder — even if someone obtains your password. Given the escalating rate of cyber threats targeting small business social media accounts, this protective measure is essential for safeguarding both your personal and commercial information.

You WILL be locked out of your account on March 15th if you have not protected your account!

Facebook requires business page administrators to enable two-factor authentication as a security baseline. Without it, you risk losing access to your Business Page entirely — along with your reviews, ad account history, and the audience you've built.

Before you begin, make sure you know your personal Facebook password. This applies even if your credentials are automatically saved on your device — you'll need to enter the password during the setup process.

Cyber threats targeting small business social media accounts are escalating. Two-factor authentication is the single most effective step you can take to protect your business's Facebook presence today.

Here's What You Need To Do

Prepare Your Personal Facebook Account Information

Ensure you have access to your personal Facebook password before proceeding, regardless of whether credentials are automatically saved. You will need to enter it during the setup process.

Follow the Step-by-Step Guides

Facebook provides device-specific instructions for enabling two-factor authentication. Use the guide that matches your device:
