Facebook has implemented a variety of different security features for its users, including something called a security check. In the context of Facebook, a security check is a pop-up Captcha image (random words or letters) that appears when you attempt to add new friends or communicate with friends who aren't on your Friends list. After awhile, the security check can become a nuisance, especially if you use Facebook frequently for your business, but getting rid of it is a simple process that takes only a few minutes.
- Log in to your Facebook account
- Complete a task that causes the Captcha to appear, such as sending a friend request to a new friend.
- Click the "Verify your account" link that appears in the Captcha box. This will open another pop-up window. This window will ask you to confirm your account by mobile phone number.
- Select your country from the "Country Code" pull-down menu. Enter your mobile phone number in the "Phone Number" field and then click "Confirm." A code will be instantly sent to your mobile phone and the pop-up window will navigate to the "Confirm" window.
- Enter the code you received via text message in the "Confirm" window's "Code" field. Click the "Confirm" button to save your changes. Your Facebook account has now been confirmed and the security check will be turned off.
