Public computers are now secure for Facebook

Users who access their Facebook account from public computers can now have some peace of mind when logging in. A new feature from Facebook will send you a password on your registered mobile,and then you can use that password to log in. For getting the password, you'll have to text "otp" to 32665 from the mobile registered on Facebook. The benefit of this password is that it will expire after 20 minutes.
So, if you wish to re-login then you'll have to send the text message again.


Another feature that has been enabled is similar to a feature provided by Gmail. It displays details about all the "Active Sessions" that you may have from other computers. This happens if you had selected the "Stay Signed In" box while logging-in.

Facebook is rolling the feature out gradually, and it should be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
