Facebook wants to make it simpler for you to understand how to lock down your account, and protect yourself from hackers.

Facebook on Wednesday updated its security settings page with simpler language and step-by-step suggestions, aimed at helping everyone from a newbie to security pro understand which protections they should use.

First, Facebook is surfacing more tools and explanations on its Security Settings page.

Now, users who click on the Security Settings page will see at the top a set of security recommendations customized especially for them, based on the tools they already have in place. For example, if you haven't enabled two-factor authentication — in which Facebook texts you a code to enter, in addition to your password — it will suggest you start there.

Secondly, Facebook simplified the language throughout its security settings to make options more clear.
