How do I enable two-factor authentication for Facebook Ads payments?

miniature7

To protect your Facebook Ads account and prevent unauthorized transactions, you should enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for payments.

1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication for Your Facebook Account
Before securing payments, you must turn on 2FA for your entire Facebook account.

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/settings
🔹 Click Security & Login
🔹 Scroll to Use Two-Factor Authentication and click Edit
🔹 Choose your preferred method:
✔ SMS (Text Message)
✔ Authentication App (Google Authenticator, Duo, or Authy)
🔹 Follow the on-screen steps to complete setup

📌 This adds an extra layer of security before you can access Ads Manager and make payments.

2. Require 2FA for Facebook Business Manager
If you manage a Facebook Business account, you must enable 2FA for all admins and team members.

🔹 Visit https://business.facebook.com/settings/security
🔹 Click Two-Factor Authentication
🔹 Select Required for Everyone
🔹 Click Save Changes

📌 This prevents unauthorized users from making changes to your payment settings.

3. Secure Facebook Ads Payments with 2FA
✔ Once 2FA is enabled, Facebook will require an authentication code before making significant changes to your payment settings.
✔ If someone tries to change or remove your payment method, Facebook will send a security prompt for verification.

📌 Use a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) from https://exocards.com for extra security and to limit spending.

✔ Click Billing to review all transactions.
✔ If you see unauthorized payments, report them immediately.

🔹 Report Unauthorized Charges:
👉 https://www.facebook.com/business/help → Click Billing & Payments → Report an Issue

Final Answer:
📌 To enable 2FA for Facebook Ads payments, go to https://www.facebook.com/settings, activate Two-Factor Authentication, and require 2FA for Business Manager at https://business.facebook.com/settings/security. Use a VCC from https://exocards.com for additional security.
