The history of VKontakte will help to secure the profile

Many users of the famous social network are wondering how to look at the history of VKontakte. With this information, you can find out from which devices and at what time your account was in online status. If it was noticed that someone other than you is visiting a personal account, you should immediately change the password. So, so that you can access the "VKontakte" story, you should go to the profile settings. Then you need to click on the button that allows you to view the activity.

Protection against intrusion

The VKontakte history stores information such as access type, country, time and IP address. Let's consider this data in detail. The type of access is the type of device from which your profile was visited. Options such devices can be mobile phones, a browser or a site through which the authorization of "VC" was carried out.

VKontakte activity history will help you to recognize fraud if you log into your profile from only one device. If such suspicions arise, pay attention to the columns "Time" and "Country". If in the specified period you could not enter exactly, then the page was hacked, and all personal information can become public and be used for the selfish purposes of the attackers.

For clarity, look at the country and IP address. By this parameter, you can determine exactly which region the account was used from. But sometimes the history of VKontakte activity may not determine the breaking of the profile. IP addresses can be either static or dynamic. With the first type everything is extremely simple - it's permanent. With the dynamic situation more serious. It can change when the user turns off the computer or when you leave the Internet. However, if your address is updated depending on the device from which you are directly connected to the Internet, this is a normal situation.

If there is a suspicion that the account is still used by someone other than you, click on "End all sessions". When you see an inscription indicating that this operation has been performed, you can relax. Now, in order to enter your profile, you will have to go through the authorization process again. After this, it is recommended to change the password to a more complicated one. Also for additional insurance, change the secret combination in the mailbox to which the account is linked. This will help if you suddenly forgot to click the "Exit" button on your friends computer or in the Internet cafe.

Delete all unnecessary

There are two types of clearing the history of VKontakte:

- Delete directly on the social networking site in your profile.
- Removal of the general history of the browser, which is recommended periodically to perform without fail.

About how to delete the history of "VKontakte", let's talk separately. Let's consider in detail the process of clearing the cache in a particular browser. This is especially important if you log into the social network account from your working computer. Often in offices it is forbidden to visit such sites, and you may have problems with management. The cache stores all the pages that you view on the Internet. If this information accumulates a lot, the browser starts to work slower, hang. Therefore, you need to regularly delete it. So, let's consider this process for different browsers.

Internet Explorer

Open the log, which displays the archive of visits to various sites, including the history of "VKontakte". This can be done using the "Favorites" button. It is located in the upper left corner of the window. Just in this place all visits are displayed. By clicking on the "Tools" button, you will be able to delete this information. It is important to remember that if you clear history, most likely, with further use of social networks and other sites you will need to re-enter your logins and passwords.

Opera Browser

Go to the "Tools" tab, select the settings item. Clicking on it, click "Delete history" in the window that appears. For the convenience of this procedure, you can configure automatic cleaning of the cache memory. Then you do not have to repeat this manipulation each time.

Clearing the cache in the Mozilla Firefox browser

You should click on "Tools", then on "Settings and privacy". In the "Personal data" box, click "Clear now". The entire history of VKontakte regarding your visits will be deleted, as well as information about viewing other sites.

These simple ways will help to correctly use the "VC" service. By removing all information on time, you will be able to visit sites anonymously. Recall again that when you clear the cache of any browser, all passwords and logins on the sites will be deleted. I'll have to re-enter them. However, in some browsers there is a setting for clearing the history, in which site passwords are preserved. Pay special attention to this option. And, if necessary, use it. Many specialists in social networking recommend that you write down your login and password in a separate notebook, which is not accessible to outsiders.
