Facebook Privacy & Application Settings HTTPS- Secure BrowsingA relatively new feature to Facebook is the option to enable secure browsing. HypertextTransfer Protocol Secure, HTTPS, is a way to provide encrypted communication forsensitive transactions over an insecure network.To enable this feature on Facebook, from your profile go to the drop down menu underAccount and select Account Settings.OPSEC Warning: HTTPS does not mean post, email or chat critical and sensitiveinformation. HTTPS is a good way to protect your logon information (i.e. user names andpasswords) but the same rules apply: assume anything you post, chat or email will be madepublic.

Facebook Privacy & Application Settings HTTPS- Secure BrowsingTo enable HTTPS check the box Browse Facebook on a secure connection (HTTPS).Please note the whenever possible statement. Some applications will not work if HTTPS isenabled. To work around this, some applications will go into your settings and disable theHTTPS function without requesting permission to do so. This is something that you consent towhen you access the application and give it permission to access your profile.An easy way to make sure you are utilizing HTTPS- check the URL in your browser. If it says:https://www..... you are browsing with a secure HTTPS connection.
