Facebook just unveiled an additional layer of security for your Facebook account. Now users can designate between 3 and 5 contacts as “Trusted Contacts” that can be reached before recovering an account. Facebook is taking user security seriously as it already has two-factor authentication.
The way Trusted Contacts works is by having them confirm if you are indeed attempting to access your account instead of someone else. Your Trusted Contacts will then have to provide security codes for you to reset your password. This works as an alternative to answering security questions, which may actually leave your account vulnerable if your answers are easily searched for.
This move is no doubt trying to tighten up on security by stopping account phishing and other Facebook scams.
