I was playing about with facebook on my iphone a couple weeks ago and looked at the security settings which tells you whether other acounts are active and stuff, and my account had been activated in manchester, thought nothing of it and left it. Looked again today and apparently someone had activated my account in manchester again and maidenhead? my ipod touch got stolen a couple of months ago and my facebook was still logged in so i think one could be that? But how do I go about completely cutting off any other accounts? Any advice would be appreciated

How do you find out where it was logged into out of interest on the iPhone?

The IP of your phone will be showing as coming from one of they places.

OMG it can't be constantly logged in.

Sounds like John's right and it's probably just yourself that's been logging in. IPs can trace back to funny places.
