Recently added to my Facebook account’s “Account Security” setting under “Account Settings,” was an option to send an email when a new computer logs on to Facebook. For example, I just used iPhoto on my Mac to upload a video to Facebook. Here’s the email I received:
Hi Peter Nikolaidis,
Your Facebook account was accessed using iPhoto Uploader (Today at 1:56pm)
Was this you? If so, you can disregard the rest of this email.

Please note: Facebook will never request your login information through email.Thanks,

Additionally, scrolling down, you can see your Account Activity, which shows recent logins from different computers once you’ve enabled this setting. This is something that you should enable to help quickly detect if your account has been compromised.
