HOW TWO STEP VERIFICATION WORKS:

In normal verification process you will be asked password as-usual  to give you access to your account. But where as in two step verification you will be asked for password and also the for the randomly generated code sent to you (to your mobile as text message or to your app ) so that even though the person who knows your password can't directly gain access to your account unless he/she get the random code sent you!


HOW TO ADD STEP 2 IN FACEBOOK IN INDIA:
Facebook calls Two step verification as "Login Approvals". As this is not available in India we are going to make use of the proxies of other countries in which Facebook's "Login Approval" is launched!.

NEED TO GET PROXY OF OTHER COUNTRIES:

Here we are using proxy of United Kingdom as Facebook had launched login approvals in that country.You can choose proxy of any country where Facebook had launched this feature.

HOW TO CHANGE PROXY IN YOUR PC
You can change the proxy on your computer in different ways but here we suggest you to you change the proxies of your Firefox browser as reverting to previous settings is easy and you don't loose your default settings.
  • To change proxy settings on your Firefox browser open the Tools--->"Optiions'---->"Advacned" --->and then hit on "Settings"
Options
  • After Connection settings on on your browser, check the option " Manual Proxy Configuration" and enter the prosy address in the HTTP Proxy and the port number.here in this tutorial we have use UK's proxy.

  • You can get the free proxies from www.HideMyAss.com choose the best proxy with with good connection speed.And note that using proxies for surfing is not good as your traffic can be monitored by the others on that network so please remember not use your Internet connection for making any transactions.
  • After saving the settings login into your Facebook account and open the "security settings" which is present in the "Account settings" you can open account settings directly from here [official] and security settings directly from here[official link].
