Last weekend, I was scrolling through my email, listening to the rain and wondering whether I was feeling too lazy to vacuum the rug, when I came across one with the subject line \u201cTurn on Facebook Protect.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYour account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect,\u201d it said and proceeded to tell me that if I didn\u2019t enable Facebook Protect by a certain date, I would be locked out of my account until I enabled it. I was instructed to click on the big blue button labeled \u201cTurn on Facebook Protect\u201d to get started.<\/p>\n

I was sure it was a phishing email. Until I found out it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

It turned out that Facebook is pushing higher security<\/a> for \u201ccertain people in the public eye,\u201d and so is encouraging those on its list to adopt better security methods such as two-factor authentication. The company\u2019s interpretation of \u201cpublic eye\u201d seems to be rather generous \u2014 for example, I, and several colleagues of my Verge<\/em> colleagues who received it, don\u2019t have particularly high Facebook followings. But this is not a bad thing, and if you happen to fall into Facebook\u2019s interpretation of somebody who qualifies for this program and you receive an email from \u201csecurity@facebookmail.com,\u201d you can be pretty sure it\u2019s legit.<\/p>\n

If you do get one but don\u2019t want to press on mysterious blue buttons, you can start the process this way:<\/p>\n
