Question

How can you change your Facebook email address?

Community Answer

You have to go into settings and add another email address. Once you've verified the second email address you can delete the one you no longer wish to use.

How do I delete the email address that Facebook created for my account?

You can go to Settings - General - Contact - Add another email or mobile number. Then delete the first one and the one you need will be by default.

Question

What can I do if I can't log into Facebook using my current e-mail?

Community Answer

You may be typing your password incorrectly. If so, try the "forgot password" button on the login screen. If you can't login or access your e-mail, you may have to create a new account.

Question

How can I change an email address associated with my business account?

You would use the same steps listed in this article. The fact that this is a business account changes nothing.

Question

When I add the email I want to switch to, it says there is already an account with that email address. What should I do?

Community Answer

It means that email is already used in another Facebook account. An email address can be only used for one account, so you will either have to remove the associated account or use a different email address.
