Facebook replaces your listed email with an @facebook.com address
Do you have your email address listed on your Facebook profile? Not anymore, you don't. Instead, Facebook has replaced your listed email address with [profile]@facebook.com. Fortunately, there's a fix.
Siobhan Keogh | Tuesday, June 26 2012Do you have your email address listed on your Facebook profile? Not anymore, you don't. Instead, Facebook has replaced your listed email address with [yourprofile]@facebook.com.
That's right. Without giving notice or asking permission, Facebook has quietly hidden your primary email address from your own profile page, in the hopes that people will only contact you through Facebook.
Fortunately, Lifehacker has the fix.
Facebook's email service was launched in 2010, and every member of Facebook has been assigned an @facebook.com email address, whether they like it or not. However, the service was largely a failure, as people already used Facebook messaging to contact others through the social network.
