VIDEO: Facebook: Disable active sessions
Active sessions at Facebook provide you with an overview of the last successful log-ins on your account. If you want to deactivate an active session, you can of course do that too. This only takes a few steps.
Active sessions - general information
- Under "Active Sessions" in your Facebook security menu you can find the date, time and approximate location of your last logins.
- The data for the location information is collected via your IP address. You can get more detailed information about this data when you move the mouse over the location data.
- If you should ever see a location that you do not even know, then first check whether this session was a cell phone connection. In most cases this is the cause of the problem.
Deactivate this security setting on Facebook
- To deactivate such an active session, log into your Account on Facebook.
- In the upper right corner click on the arrow and select "Account Settings".
- In the left menu field you have to click on "Security".
- The last item in the security settings is "Active Sessions". To the right of it, click on "Edit".
- You will now find the list of your last accesses as described. Each activity is followed by "End activity". Disable any sessions you want by clicking this link.
- The active session is deactivated and ended immediately. When you have finished all sessions, click the "Close" button below.
