How come I can access Facebook via the message in box without entering my password?

When I close Facebook without logging out fully I assume no one else can go into my account because to go in needs the password. But Ive just noticed my in box was telling me I have a new message so I clicked on it and it gave me full access without me putting in my password. That's scary!!!

no worries if your the only one with access to your computer .
The cookies stored keep you loggedd in be safe and always log out

only your computer can have access though no one else

You need to fully log out in order for this not to happen. If you close your browser without logging out, you can easily get back in using any link to your account.

Make sure that when you do log in that you don't have the box checked to "remember you" and make sure that you click "log out" when you are done using Facebook and then you clear your Internet History and Internet Cache before you shut the browser down completely.

Doing this will clear out the browsers history and cookies which retain your recent movements. Lastly. don't have the browser remember your password for you, since this will also cause Facebook to log you in automatically.
