The "Who Can See What You Share" feature will help users review who can see their profile information, like phone number and email address, as well as their posts.

"'How to Keep Your Account Secure' feature will help you strengthen your account security by setting a stronger password and turning on login alerts," Facebook said in a blog post late Monday.
