Facebook Mobile to Thwart Hackers and Cyberbullies with Password Reset and Social Reporting

Facebook has ported a security feature and anti-cyberbullying tool to m.facebook.com from its web interface. The enhanced password reset feature allows mobile users to have a new password sent to an email address or phone number if they can verify their identity. Social reporting lets users contact the owner of objectionable content, such as an embarrassing photo of them, and ask them to delete it. Facebook is slowly rolling out the features to m.facebook.com, and plans to add them to its native mobile apps such as Facebook for iPhone and Android soon.
With a sizable percentage of users primarily accessing the site via mobile devices, especially in the developing world, Facebook has been making an effort to bring security, safety, and privacy controls of its website to its mobile interfaces. These features will allow users to regain access to their account and protect themselves from defamation without having to find a wired internet connection.
