Facebook Wants Your Phone Number for Security Purposes
Have you entered your phone number into Facebook yet? They say it is for SECURITY reasons. Then they have a link on their website to click that gives you tips about Facebook security... https://www.facebook.com/about/security. When you click on this link this is what they tell you about the phone number...Confirm your mobile number:
If you forget your password, we'll be able to text you a new one. To make sure we can reach you, confirm your mobile number.
That's why they want your phone number. Well, I don't trust Facebook. I don't use it that much. For that reason I will not be complying to their request. I know that my phone number would only be in my profile and only those who have the need-to-know will see it. But I can't get to the point to register my cell number with that website.
Deborah,
ReplyDeleteWhy would I need a text if I forget my password? Just send it to my email account and I can get it from their.
I don't trust facebook that much either. I do have an account and maybe log on once or twice a month. I got it because of my younger Soldiers. It is a way to keeping in touch with them. The young people these days love Facebook and post daily if not hourly.
