Your Password is Safe, But You Are Hacked. Imagine you have a super strong password and 2FA enabled. Yet, a hacker logs into your account instantly. How?They didn't steal your key; they stole your Entry Pass.
When you log in to Facebook, the server gives your browser a temporary ID card called a "Session Cookie". – Purpose: This cookie tells the website "I am already logged in," so you don't have to type your password on every page.
This is why public WiFi is risky. If the connection is not secure (HTTP), a hacker sitting nearby can sniff your Session Cookie flying through the air (Side-Jacking).
Closing the tab does not always kill the session. – Rule: On public computers, always click the Log Out button. This destroys the cookie on the server. – Tip: Use "HTTPS Only" mode.
