How to see your Facebook email address
To see your Facebook email address, you can either navigate to your contact information (if you’re logged in to Facebook) or view your saved passwords in your phone’s settings.
Alternatively, if you’re not logged in to Facebook, you can use your phone number to log in to your account if you’ve linked it in the past.
If you’re already logged into Facebook, you can see your email by navigating to your contact information via your settings.
The email address that you’ve used to create your Facebook account will be displayed in the contact information setting.
If you’re not logged in to Facebook and you forgot your email address, you can log in with your phone number instead.
However, if you didn’t link your phone number, the only option that you’re left with is to view your saved passwords in your phone’s settings.
For iOS devices, you can view your saved passwords by going to your phone’s settings and tapping on “Passwords”.
For Android devices, you can view your saved passwords by going to your phone’s settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Password manager.
Below is a 3-step guide on how you can find your Facebook password if you’re already logged in.
1. Go to your settings
Firstly, log in to Facebook if you haven’t already.
If you forgot your email address, you can use your phone number to log in (if you’ve linked it).
Once you’re on Facebook, tap on the “Menu” icon on the bottom navigation bar.
Tapping on the “Menu” icon will open the menu.
On the menu, you’ll see your Facebook profile and page(s).

This option allows you to manage your contact information including your email address, phone number, and identity.
Tap on “Name and contact information” to manage your contact information.
If you’re using Facebook on a desktop, click on “Settings” instead.

The “Name” option allows you to see and change your name on Facebook.
Next, the “Contact info” option allows you to manage your phone number and email addresses.
Lastly, the “Identity confirmation” option is to confirm your identity with Facebook if you want to run ads.
Since you’re looking to find your Facebook email address, tap on “Contact info”.
If you’re using Facebook on a desktop, you’ll be able to see your email address on “General Account Settings”.
4. See your Facebook email address
After you’ve tapped on “Contact info”, you’ll see your phone number if you’ve linked it with Facebook.
You’ll also see your email address under your phone number.
The email address that is shown is the email address that you’ve used to create your Facebook account.
