Facebook Silently Replaced Your Email Address With @Facebook.com

Facebook has begun replacing all users' default email address to a @Facebook.com address,as usual,without asking for permission before implement.

"As we announced back in April, we've been updating addresses on Facebook to make them consistent across our site," a Facebook spokesperson said. "In addition to everyone receiving an address, we're also rolling out a new setting that gives people the choice to decide which addresses they want to show on their timelines.

The email address you have once listed as your point of contact is now hidden in the site’s database and your assigned @Facebook.com address is highlighted for friends to see.

If you ever changed your Facebook profile URL, that will serve as the prefix of your Facebook email address For instance,Facebook.com/JH.LiM would be JH.LiM@Facebook.com. For those that never added a vanity URL, Facebook has assigned numbers to be your email account name.

The email sent to your Facebook.com email address,will be showing up in your inbox.However,not all the things are go well,some of the users responded that some of them end up in an “Other Messages” folder that only few people know about.

In case that you want to switch your email contact information back to the original one, it is not complicated to do so.Simply head to your profile page and select “About” under your contact information. You can then hide your Facebook email address from the contact page and elect to highlight another email address.

"Ever since the launch of timeline, people have had the ability to control what posts they want to show or hide on their own timelines, and today we're extending that to other information they post, starting with the Facebook address."

The change has not been applied to all Facebook accounts yet, but it is expected to spread to all within the next few weeks.
