How to Add, Remove or Change Your Email Address on Facebook
Have you stopped using the email address that is connected to your Facebook account? Do you want to put in another email address for later use? You do not have to make a Facebook account to do these things. Facebook lets people handle their email information through the Accounts Centre.
The steps are simple. If you are putting in an email address you will need to type in a verification code that gets sent to your email inbox. To remove an existing address, Facebook may ask you to enter your account password.
Here is how to make these changes.
