Facebook: Forgot email address - what to do?

If you have forgotten the email address stored on Facebook, this is annoying, but usually not a big problem. Facebook offers you two options that allow you to access your account even without an email address.

Forgot your email address for Facebook - you will get your account back

To regain unimpeded access to Facebook, you can first try the normal login method:

1. Go to the Facebook login page and click on "Forgot your password?".
2. Enter your telephone number, your user name or your full name in the text field and then click on "Search".
3. Then fill out the form to identify your account and select the option "I forgot my password".
4. Facebook will then present you with a list of the email addresses you have provided. Usually, the forgotten one should also be underneath.
5. If, contrary to expectations, the corresponding email address is not below it, click on "Do you no longer have access to it?".
6. Facebook gives you another chance by answering the security question. However, if you don't know the answer, the only thing left for you to do is through your reliable friends:

Forgot Facebook mail: Friends can access the Facebook account

If you have friends you trust on Facebook, you can use them to activate your account again:

1. To do this, click again on "Forgot password" and then select the option "I cannot identify my account".
2. On the far left you will find the "Help from friends" option and on the right a detailed explanation.
3. Follow the instructions described there. You will usually receive a URL with a security code. However, you cannot access this page, only the reliable friend you have specified.
4. You can then use the security code to access your account again and enter a new email address.
5. Note: Facebook has installed an additional lock for security queries, so that you can usually only access your account again after 24 hours.
