Over the next few weeks, users will see a small pop up at the top of their news feed asking them to &#8220;Stay in control of your account by following these simple security tips&#8221;. Clicking on this link leads to the security center where users are educated about scams, strong passwords and are requested to bind their mobile numbers with their account.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Facebook help center,\u00a0<em>&#8220;This is a security measure to help ensure that Facebook remains a community of people using their real identities to connect and share. If you ever lose your password, you\u2019ll also be able to use your mobile number to access your account.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>But would you be willing to share more info with facebook than you already have?<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has already several ways to verify your identity,be it asking you to identify friends in your photos or answering security questions. So do they really need your phone number? Isn&#8217;t an alternate e-mail id good enough? Or is this just a knee jerk reaction to the LinkedIn fiasco? (Although Facebook says it was planned long ago).<\/p>\n<p>Let us know your opinion on this latest move by Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have any queries, reach us on\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:socialmedia@techdivine.com\">socialmedia@techdivine.com<\/a>\u00a0or contact us via our quick form<a href=\"http:\/\/techdivine.com\/socialmediaoffer.html\" target=\"_blank\">social media<\/a>\u00a0link here<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Techdivine Creative Services<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div><strong>You can also\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=http\/wwwtechdivinecom\/tdblog&amp;loc=en_US\" target=\"_blank\">Stay Updated With Us Here: Subscribe For Free<\/a>\u00a0News &amp; updates<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<strong>Connect with Us On:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Techdivine\" target=\"_blank\">On Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Techdivine\" target=\"_blank\">On Twitter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Our BRANDS On Google Plus:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/107764488916020022099\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Your SMQ On Google Plus\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/117918285859180560490\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Techdivine on Google Plus<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Customized social media brand marketing using right set of tools Part 1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2012\/06\/customized-social-media-brand-marketing-using-right-set-of-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\">Customized social media brand marketing using right set of tools \u2013 Part 1<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2012\/06\/welcome-to-the-world-of-ipv6\/\" target=\"_blank\">Welcome to the world of IPV6<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2012\/06\/using-foursquare-to-be-more-productive-while-you-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\">Using foursquare to be more productive while you travel<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2011\/06\/second-techbrandsmeetup-event-from-techdivine-creative-services\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Second TechBrandsMeetup Event from Techdivine Creative Services<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2011\/04\/going-geo-with-your-check-in-using-mobile-apps-survey\" target=\"_blank\">Going Geo with your Check-in using Mobile Apps Survey<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2012\/04\/location-based-target-marketing-to-bring-together-online-and-offline-users\" target=\"_blank\">Location based target marketing to bring together online and offline users<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2012\/04\/location-based-target-marketing-to-bring-together-online-and-offline-users\" target=\"_blank\">First space checkin:NASA Commander Wheelock Unlocks the Explorer Badge on Foursquare<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techdivine.com%2Ftdblog%2F2012%2F06%2Fwould-you-give-your-phone-number-to-facebook%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 2px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook is rolling out new privacy measures claiming to enhance user security.
