4. You will land on the “General Account Settings” page. On the left-hand side, click on the tab that says “Security and Login.”
   
5. A tab labeled “Where You’re Logged In” will be visible listing your logged-in devices. Select “See More” if you don’t see your device.
   
6. Hovering the cursor over the location will display the last IP address to access your Facebook account on that device. Please note that this option is not available when using your Facebook mobile app.

The Where-You-Are-Logged-In Feature

In “General Account Settings” is a tab labeled “Where You are Logged In.” This page is important in verifying if the open Facebook sessions on different devices were initiated by you or someone else.

Each entry on this page lists:

• The type of device connected.
• The geographical location of the device.
• The app that was used to access your Facebook account.
• The last time the device accessed your Facebook account.

This information will allow you to see if all the devices listed and their locations are familiar. If they aren’t, then it’s likely that a third party has accessed your Facebook account.
