Facebook Inc. (FB) announced changes on Friday intended to make Pages more authentic and transparent, including the introduction of publishing authorization for people who manage pages with a large audience in the U.S.

The company said an authorization process will make it "harder for people to administer a Page using a fake or compromised account." The process includes using two-factor authentication and confirming primary country location.

Facebook said enforcement will follow this month.

The Info and Ads section will also provide more details including whether a page has merged with another.
