Facebook hasintroduced a security measure that allows account holders to use a physical key to access their social network profile. The FIDO U2F security key is plugged into the USB port on a computer and is tapped to confirm login, alongside a password. Once the key is activated through Facebook's security setting, the key and password are needed to log in through a set up known as two-factor authentication. The key will block anyone without a security key and password from accessing another's Facebook account using another device.
