How do I add a security question to my account?

Having a security question is a useful way to verify you own your account if you ever lose access to it.

You can add a security question to your account from your Security Settings page:

1. Click at the top right of any Facebook page and select Account Settings
2. Click Security from the left-hand column
3. Click on the Security Question section and follow the onsite steps

Note: You won't see this section if you've already added a security question to your account.

Tips for picking a good security question:

• Pick a question and answer you know you'll remember
• Keep your security question a secret
• Make sure your answer is specific enough that it can't be guessed easily

You can improve the overall security of your account by updating your security information.
