It seems that Facebook has decided to increase the level of its security with two new features that will become available to all Facebook users. These two features will allow you to log onto your Facebook account without worrying that someone might be able to steal your personal information.

Many people tend to avoid logging in to their Facebook profiles in public places because they are worried that other people might steal their password by using keyloggers. In order to deal with that, Facebook has decided to introduce one-time temporary passwords that will expire after 20 minutes. All that you have to do in order to get one of these passwords is to verify your Facebook account with your mobile phone and to send "otp" to 32665.

Another feature that you'll find interesting is the ability to remotely logout. This is especially useful if you forget to sign out of your Facebook profile on a different computer, and with this feature you can simply check in if you're still signed in, and logout remotely.

It seems that Facebook is really working hard on its security and we should see these features soon enough.
