Facebook
allows you to sign in to your account using either your email address or your
phone number. The same information is required of you when signing up. It's
very easy to lose a phone number but your email can be accessed from anywhere
so it's safer. Facebook also contacts you on important issues through your
email address.
Every
user needs a personal email address that links them to their account. Users
even have the chance to change their existing email address if you might have
forgotten the access to the previous one.
How to Add Facebook Email to Your Account
If
you have signed up to Facebook using your mobile number you can also add your
email address so as to have a Facebook email to login with. In other to add an
email to your account or remove an email follow the steps below:
§ Open
the Facebook homepage and login to your account.
§ In the top right section clicks on the Settings icon and clicks on settings.
§ On
General settings, you will see your primary contact click on edit.
§ Select
the add email option and enter your Facebook email.
§ Follow
the on-screen instructions.
You
will be sent a confirmation email when you add a new email to your account.
Click the link in that email to confirm that you want this email to be added to
your Facebook account. You can remove the existing email address that is there
and add a new one.
@facebook.com Email Address
Facebook,
in a bid to make its Message hub similar to what we have from email service
providers such as Hotmail or Gmail; @facebook.com email address was conceived.
This is the email address that is for your Facebook messages, basically. It
offers individual Messenger applications for both the desktop and the
smartphone; its roll-out of @facebook.com email addresses was a further push to
make Facebook your primary channel of communication.
You
don’t need to bother much because
your email address was chosen for you and is simply *username*@facebook.com, where your username is whatever comes after
“facebook.com/“on your personal profile page.
If someone wants
to chat with you through Facebook Messenger but has no access to their Facebook
detail or Facebook as a whole for some reason (like, say, if your workplace
blocks Facebook.com), he or she can email your Facebook address and the email
will show up in your Facebook message box.
