    What is 2 step verification / Login approval in Facebook?


Whenever a user who has enabled 2 step verification in Facebook tries to login to their account, an sms will be sent to the user's mobile number. That sms will contain a pin number which he needs to enter to access the account. Without the pin number, it is impossible to login! The name given for "Two step verification" by facebook is "Login Approvals". In India, this login approvals are not yet made available. So, if you want to protect your account, you can use "Proxies" to achieve the login approvals instantly.



    Which proxy should I use?


You can use the Proxy of any country, which has Facebook login approvals enabled. Say, United Kingdom. There are several websites available which offer you free proxy. But, you must be very careful that you can be easily monitored when you are operating in proxy. So, you should not use banking and other sensitive stuffs when you are using proxy.

Note : You can remove the proxy once you complete enabling "Login Approvals" for your facebook account.
