Hey everyone.
I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'm going to show you how to change your Facebook email
address.
Your Facebook primary email address serves as a username you can use to log in to Facebook,
and also as the email account where any email notifications associated with Facebook will
be sent.
Changing your Facebook email address should be on your list of things to do if you feel
like either that email account or your Facebook account are compromised.
This video will show you how to change your email on Facebook through both the Facebook
mobile app, and the Facebook.com website.
