How to activate these extra Facebook security measures 

The first is a login alert, which will send you a notification by email or text when someone tries to access your account from a new location. Turn on this feature from the login alerts section of your security settings page.

In addition to login alerts, login approvals provide an enhanced level of security by asking you to enter a special code when you use your account from a new device.

To activate this feature, click “Login Approvals” from your security settings page.  

Click the box that says “Require a login code to access my account from unknown browsers” and save the changes.
