change your Email address on Facebook

Facebook is right now the most used social networking site. Facebook has more users and offers voice and video calling features than other social networking sites. You can share files, upload photos/videos, and more on the platform.

Since our Facebook account holds lots of information about us, we first need to take proper steps to safeguard our account. You can set up two-factor authentication for security, which requires SMS verification for account login.

Secondly, you can add a different email account to your Facebook account for account recovery. Setting up a secondary email address on Facebook is pretty straightforward. And not only that, you can even make your secondary email primary on Facebook.
