Why does my Facebook keep getting hacked?

[Lindsey]

I will sign into my account, and receive a notification that an unfamiliar device has logged into my account. It will be from multiple different places. I will be forced to change my password over and over again, and I just want to find a way to block these people. I was wondering if they might have a keylog on my computer, where they know what I'm typing, or if they have access to something that is allowing them to get on my account time after time.
And I would like to know how to stop it...

Start a new profile with a really complicated password, with letters and numbers. Be sure to sign out of unfamiliar computers.
I have had such warnings, but I doubt anyone hacked it because I don't know anyone who is angry at me and would do that, and it's usually someone you know who does it.
You would be aware if someone hacked it because there would be changes probably that you could see, such as unfriending all your friends, or other mischievousness.
Important: don't put any sensitive personal info online, ever. Never ever. Then you wont be vulnerable. Adjust your privacy setting so theyre super tight. Not enough is better than too much.

or most people, having their Facebook account hacked is a nightmare. Imagine if someone had access to all your private messages, could contact your friends, abuse your Facebook page, and delete your personal information. To avoid this, you should regularly update your password and keep other security settings tight.

Once it’s too late, however, you must act fast. The most important thing is – don’t panic! You can regain access to your account.
How Do You Know Your Facebook Account Was Hacked?

First of all, how do you know your Facebook account was hacked if nothing obvious was changed…yet? If a hacker managed to get into your account, they will leave a trace. While their session is active, it will be listed under > Home (top right corner) > Account Settings > Security > Active Sessions (click edit). Here you can end the activity of suspicious sessions.

Next time you're prompted to change your password, change it to something that is complicated, and at least 12 characters long, containing a mix of lowercase, upper case, and numbers. Make sure you write it down someplace safe.

If after this change, you see this message again, it's likely that you have a keylogger installed on your computer. Spybot Search & Destroy is a good way to get rid of keyloggers. So is SUPERAntispyware, and both have free versions.
