Facebook has a code generator security feature that provides an additional login verification step. When logging in from a new device, Facebook sends a unique code via SMS to the user's mobile phone. To enable the code generator, users can go to their Facebook security settings and select the "Code Generator" option. Once enabled, the code generator will require users to input the SMS code they receive during every login from a new device, helping to prevent unauthorized access to their Facebook account from unknown devices.

2. Security is “the state of being free from danger or threat: the system is designed to provide
maximum security against toxic spills”. Nowadays, we always need to be the most secured
especially on the internet. As we know, there are many social Medias that became a part of our
life like Facebook, Twitter and Skype etc.
Let’s see an example for being secured on Facebook:
Code generator is like a password after logging in but only if we logged in from another device
or computer. A message is directly sent to our mobile so Facebook can be assured that we are,
personally, logging in. After sending the code on the mobile, we put it in the blank box and we
continue normally. And if the mobile wasn’t with the user, a notification is automatically sent to
him that determinates the region from which the hacker was trying to log in.
How to find code generator?
Step #1: Go to Settings and choose Account settings.
Step #2: Once we see General Account Settings, look at the left of the page and choose Security.
Step #3: Now that the Security page has opened, choose Code Generator and click on the right Edit.
Step #4: Pick Enable and a small box appears in which we can see some instructions given by Facebook.
After reading what’s written inside the box, click continue.
Step #5: A second box appears on the screen in which Facebook asks to enter the security code that
appears on the phone in the blank box. Once the code is placed, click confirm.
At this moment Code Generator is enabled. Everytime you log in from another mobile or computer,
Facebook sends us a message on our own mobile to make sure that we are personally logging in.
Here an example:
1. Write your email and your password from another phone and click log in.
