How do you add a security question to your account?

Answer 1

Having a security question is a useful way to verify your ownership, should you lose access to your Facebook account or login email address. You can add a security question to your account from your Account Settings page, accessible from the Account drop-down menu at the top of any Facebook page. To add a security question, take the following steps:

Click "change" in the Security Question section.

In the "Question" dropdown menu, select a security question whose answer you are certain you will remember in the future. Keep your security question secret, and ensure that your answer is specific enough that it cannot be guessed easily.

Carefully enter your answer to the selected question. Once you set your question, you will not be able to edit or change it.

Click the "Change Security Question" button. You will then be prompted to enter your password to confirm the submission of your security question.

Please note that once you have submitted your security question, the Security Question section will disappear from the Account Settings page. In order to protect your account security, it is not possible to change your account's security question once you have added one.
