password
Facebook password should never be used for any other purpose nor should it be shared with anyone. Password must be at least 8 digits long with lowercase letters and numbers, so that no one can easily guess it.
choose friends
Facebook's advice is to never accept someone you don't know as a friend. In this case, hackers may pretend to be your friends and spread spam on your timeline, tag you in embarrassing posts or send hacking messages.
