Social networking sites like Facebook play an important role in bringing people together, sharing experiences and staying in touch with friends and family. However, the standard procedure for opening a Facebook account involves verifying a phone number or email address. But what if you don’t have access to both, or if you prefer to keep this information to yourself? In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a Facebook account without your own phone number or email address.
What You Need to Know About Creating a Facebook Account Without a Phone Number or Email
One of the standard prerequisites for creating a Facebook account is to provide a phone number or an email ID. With this, you can strengthen the security of your account and make it easier to log in if you forget your password. However, you may choose not to provide or access your phone number for a number of reasons. In such cases, you can create a Facebook account using a temporary email or disposable phone number.
However, before creating a Facebook account with a temporary email, remember that a disposable email address is only valid for a certain period of time. After that, it will be inaccessible to you. Therefore, over time, you may need to change your email address on Facebook.
As for the use of available phone numbers, it is worth noting that after you let the number expire, it is assigned to another person. This may pose a security risk to your Facebook account.
How to Create a Facebook Account Without Using Your Email ID
Facebook requires you to enter an email id or phone number during registration. You can use a temporary email id to circumvent this issue. There are several free temporary email providers out there. But for this guide, I used TempMail. Here’s how you can use it too.
- Go to TempMail and it will immediately give you a random temporary email address.
- click copy to clipboard to copy the email address
- Go to facebook.com and click create new account.
- Fill in the required information and paste the temporary email address.
- click Become a member.
- Go back to TempMail and scroll down to see the confirmation email sent by Facebook.
- Enter the confirmation email on Facebook and you’re done.
How to Create Facebook Account Without Phone Number
Don’t want to use a temporary email ID when creating your Facebook account? You will then need to enter your phone number, but do you want to avoid doing that? Use a disposable phone number instead.
- Go to SMSReceiveFree.
- Choose a country.
- Select a phone number from the preset numbers or Get Random Number.
- Go to Facebook.com and sign up for a new account using the burner number.
- You will receive a verification code to the burner phone number when creating your Facebook account.
