Is a public account more likely to be hacked than a private account?

I want to make my account public, but I don't want to be hacked. I have the mobile authenticator and my phone number on my account and everything.

No, privacy settings have no effect on making your account more or less secure in any way.

... unless you post your private login & password on your profile, it's just as safe

It could be bad if you post info that someone can use to socially engineer their way into your other accounts like phone or email. Don't post real names, stuff that lets people look you up in a phone book basically.

I understand. Thanks!
