Temp Mail for Facebook
Facebook confirms a new account with a link sent to your email, and that link would land in the inbox below. Before using it, know that Meta's terms allow one personal account, under the name you use in everyday life.

For throwaway signups only. Don't use a temp address for banking, medical or anything sensitive.
Setting up your inbox
One account, your own
Meta's terms ask you to use the name you use every day, give accurate information, and only create one account, your own. Its help adds that keeping more than one personal account is against the Community Standards. So a spare "test" profile on a temp address breaks the rules, whatever email it uses.
If what you want is your one real account without your main email on it, a forwarding alias is the better fit. It keeps working, so security emails still reach you.
What Facebook sends
Sign-up asks for your name, email or mobile, a password, date of birth and gender. With email, you confirm by opening the link Facebook sends, and its help says you may not be able to use the account until you do. Accounts left unconfirmed may be deleted after a year.
Genuine Facebook mail only comes from a short list of Meta domains, such as facebookmail.com and metamail.com. Anything else claiming to be Facebook isn't.
No confirmation email?
- Check the address you typed, then use the option to send the email again.
- Facebook says you can switch to signing up with a mobile number instead.
- If you've asked for several codes, Facebook's advice is to wait up to a day before trying again.
- There's no public statement that Facebook blocks disposable email. Our domains are on the public disposable list, so it may.
Locks and identity checks
If Facebook sees unusual activity it can lock the account and ask you to confirm your identity before unlocking it. Changing the email later means adding the new one in Accounts Centre, under Personal details, and removing the old; Facebook then mails the old address a link to reverse the change.
Questions
Can I have a second Facebook account for testing?
Not a personal one. Meta's terms allow one personal account each. For a business or project, a Facebook Page run from your own account is the allowed route.
What about Marketplace, ads or Pages?
Keep them on an account with an address you'll still have. They all hang off the account, and losing the email can mean losing access to all of them.
How old do I need to be?
At least 13.
