These are the steps to protect Facebook account from hacking1. Hide your primary email
Your primary email is the email your facebook account is registered with. I see a lot of people using free email providers like yahoo, hotmail and gmail and even showing this on their facebook profile. Once a hacker gets hold of your primary email, your facebook account is as good as gone. All that needs to be done is to use Forgot Password to reset your facebook password and a link is sent to your email which is already hacked! To prevent this, be sure your primary email is hidden. To do this, go to Edit Profile >Contact Information. Change your primary email's visibility to Only Me.
