The already has an option that uses SMS to send a verification PIN, but today a new feature was added that allows you to protect your account without having to provide your phone number.Facebook

All you need is one authentication, such as Google Authenticator or authy.

Let's see how you can use the new security feature. Sign in to your Facebook account, and follow the steps below from the Security and Login settings in the two-factor authentication field.

If you do not want to do the above route, click on the link:

Select the authentication application and you will see a QR box.
Enable the verification app (from Add New Application), give a new connection (myfacebook) and scan the QR box using the application of your choice.
Type the six-digit password that is automatically generated on your device at Facebook's prompt

In addition to being able to remove your phone number from the of Facebook, this method will not forward you text messages every time someone tries to hack your account.

So the next time you sign in to Facebook from a new device or after the cookies that are already stored on your device expire, you need to run the authentication application to type the code that will show you.

The addition of new security, which essentially gives you the option of withdrawing from the telephone platform, is another measure taken as Facebook, in the wake of the scandal Cambridge Analytica.
