Facebook: Remote Log Out.

Facebook has been going through many problems regarding security and now they are bolstering the security of the user accounts with the new release of the Remote Logout feature this Sunday.

The same concept has been launched by Google since august 2008. Using this feature you can remotely log out from a computer if you left logged in there.

In the unlikely case that someone accesses your account without your permission, you can shut down the unauthorized login before resetting your password and taking other steps to secure your account and computer.

Facebook ask computer name to add it your secure list.
How to access Facebook Remote Logout Feature:-
1. Go to account settings in account(at top right corner of your Facebook page).
2. Go to settings tab.
3. Click account security and there you are.

You can add sms facility if someone else log into your account.

One PC login looks something like this

This is a welcome security update from the world's largest social network. This certainly does not fix everything, but certainly more control over the user's security and some piece of mind.
