Avoid locking out of facebook or other social sites



Many people due to some reasons end up loosing their social media accounts especially Facebook, it happens due to forgotten password or Facebook locked their accounts due to suspicious activities detected on the account!
Innocently many ended up creating another redundant accounts! Due to activities of hackers that tried as much as they can to steal data or defraud people on social media! I always refuse to accept double or redundant friend request! My reasons are simple why will a sane human own more than one account on social media and secondly the fear of fraudulent activities by cyber thief's! I later realised many are not creating redundant account for fun, rather that's the only option left to them!

Below are the most common reasons and solutions to lost of control over your social media accounts:-

Phone number

Problem
The most common problem people face in social media opening account with phone numbers. I'm not saying its not good nor secured to open with your phone ID (number)! Especially in Nigeria we do buy preregistered simcard! What do u think will happen after you lost your sim certificate at the same time you lost your phone! The answer is simple! You lost your Facebook account! Again getting  to your phone is far easy than getting access to your email!  
Solution Based on my experience with social media, the best practice is to use your email where applicable! I'm not saying you can't be locked out of your email its possible! But recovering your email can be possible as long as your recovery email is active! Ooops! What is recovery email? This is an email address that help you to reset your password when the need arises! So when signing up make sure you provide a valid, trusted alternative email address! NB: You can add your email address to your Facebook account now by going to profile~ about~ contact info~ contact info~ emails click on add/remove emails in account settings, click on add email and you are good to go! Make sure the email is yours & valid! After entering the address you have to provide your password once done click on add email and save! You will receive an email message from facebook to confirm its your account! Once confirmed the email will be added to your account!

Powerful words from Steve Jobs on his sick bed

Powerful message. Steve Jobs’ Last Words - I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer… Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth… Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ... Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just l...

iTunes Connect is down!

Something is wrong in Cupertino. A number of developers today turned to Twitter to complain that iTunes Connect, a hub for iOS and Mac software makers, was logging them into the wrong accounts.  The service appears to be matching log-ins with the wrong accounts, showing apps and usernames from completely different people. When developers try to access one of the apps, they receive an error message leading them back to their own account. iTunes Connect has since been taken offline as Apple’s engineers presumably set off to fix the problem. We’ve contacted Apple and will update if we hear back. Culled from:  The Next Web
