1. Log Out
The main step for protecting fb account is, always log out from the account after log in to it. I had seen many fb accounts which were not sign outed in cafes. Many are just closing the browser window instead log outing. This situation is a super chance for hackers to get into your account. So always keep in mind that never let your facebook [or any account] logged on.
2. Don't use 'remember me' in browser

2. Don't use 'remember me' in browser
This is the main way to loose your account. Never click 'remember me' or similar buttons to save your login details or don't save passwords in your browser. Think that you click remember password option while browsing a public computer or computer in an internet cafe, some one next to you checks the saved password option, they can see all saved passowords. The image shows saved password in mozilla firefox browser.
In my personal experience i had viewed many of such usernames and passwords [facebook,bank,email] at cafe's. But as i am genuine i didn't use such accounts till now. It's a bit more of hassle to log in each time you want to email, but it's more safer.
3. Avoid internet cafe's to check facebook status
As per the report many cafe's are using key loggers to catch their customers personal details. The working of key loggers are simple. After installing they automatically activated at system start up. When you press any key in the keyboard key logger stores that letter. Think that you gives your credit card details. Such key loggers saves all pressed keys and sends it to the hackers. Modern key loggers have the option to send the saved details to any pre given email addresses.So avoid using of internet cafe's to check fb status.
4. Don't accept unknown's friend request
I heard about persons have 5000 friends. Is all such friends are known guyz.. May be. But probably answer is NO. Facebook has a loop hole that if three of your friend intent to hack your account it's possible. Due to security reasons i will not explain it how. So please don't accept friend request of unknown friends.
5. Change your password at specific interval
Changing passwords at specific span of time is a good method. If any attempt to log in to your account from other countries they may inform you to change your current password. So don't avoid such warnings.
6.Use anti virus and anti key loggers
Using of anti virus and anti keyloggers is an efficient way to protect your email account.
