Repair And Take Back Your FaceBook Email Settings

Whoever makes decisions feels it is okay to do things without telling anyone or even asking anyone's opinion, except some top level administrators, obviously.

Facebook Changed Everyone’s Email to @Facebook.com

Facebook just removed everyone's email address from their profile and replaced it with an @facebook.com email address without asking you.

Here's how to easily fix the problem.

Facebook launched its own email service back in 2010, which was promptly forgotten by everyone. This morning, Forbes noticed that they removed everyone's email addresses from their profiles, replacing them with an @facebook.com email address instead (not Facebook's internal email address which they use for notifications and password resets, just the one listed on your profile). Luckily, it's easy to get your old email address back on your profile:

1. Click "About" on your profile and scroll down to your email address. Click "Edit" to change them.
   
   
2. Click on the circle next to your Facebook email address and change its setting to "Hidden From Timeline".
   
   
3. Click on the circle next to your other email addresses and change their settings to "Shown On Timeline".
   
   
4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the Edit popup (Don't forget this step).
