Reference | from zdnet.com | in ,, | by theWHIR

nFacebook yesterday announced a new remote log-out security feature that allows users to see all of the active login sessions for your Facebook account. How does this work? First, a little background education.nSay that you’re logged in at home but later want to log into Facebook with another computer (i.e. your work computer). If you didn’t have your work computer registered, you would have to register it and you would get an email saying a new device has used your account. The purpose is for the user to be notified if someone other then you uses your account.n n n
