No, an email address is used to identify one - and one only - account on facebook. One of you will need to open another email account.

If you need a specific word or name in your email address, (example: [email protected]) try opening an account with another provider such as AOL. (example: [email protected]).

Anyway, facebook only allows one (specific) email account for each facebook account.

Me and my husband share a email address, he has a Facebook account and I want to but when I put my email address, one that we share it won't let me finish registration. What can I do?

It isn't possible to have two Facebook accounts on one email address. It is however very easy to open a free web based email account (like Gmail for instance) and use that for your Facebook account.

How do I set up a Facebook account when my wife and I have a shared e-mail account. When I try to register, I get a message telling me that the e-mail address is already in use.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Unfortunately, you will not be able to use an email on more than one account for Facebook.

There are many places you can sign up for free emails such as MSN, WindowsLive, Gmail, Yahoo etc.

There isn't a way around this to date. You must create another email and confirm your new Facebook account from it.

Hope this helps.

We want two seperate facebook sign ons but we have the same email address... we are husband and wife and we have had the same email address for years and neither of us wwant to change our email address

Sadly the only solution is to create a new email address for a different account, Facebook does not allow you to use two DIFFERENT accounts on ONE email.


If you are using gmail, it may be possible to register two different Facebook accounts as gmail can be displayed as two different emails. There is a solution for that here:

However, I cannot speak to whether or not this information is reliable.

Two facebook accounts with one email acct?

Get another email address.
http://gmail.com
...is free and has 7Gb, so you can leave it alone for ages and it won't fill up with spam.  Or, you could open an account and in the
Settings --> Forwarding and POP/IMAP
...part, set it so that all emails from your new account are autometically sent on to the address you and your wife share.

If you do open an account; make sure you make a note of the email address and the password somewhere, as it's easy to lose passwords for accounts you don't use often.

Then, of course, you open your facebook with your new gmail account email address.  Job done.

My wife Can't signup for Facebook-has same email address

1) Create a new email for you wife.
2) Make sure that you sign out if you wife want to sign in. Go to facebook main page (http://www.facebook.com) instead the login page.
3) If the steps failed, the easiest way is to clear your private data on the browser.

Cheers
