Using Temporary Email for Facebook

Facebook requires an email address to create an account, but you might want to avoid using your primary email to protect your privacy. Here's how you can use a temporary email address on Facebook:

Go to EmailMux and generate a temporary email address.
Visit Facebook sign-up page.
Fill out your personal info but enter the temporary email as your email address.
Check your EmailMux inbox for Facebook's confirmation email and open the verification link.
Complete the registration and start using Facebook without exposing your real email.

⚠️ Note: If you plan to use Facebook's password recovery or two-factor authentication, remember that access to the temporary email inbox is limited by its lifespan.

Using Temporary Email for Instagram

Instagram also requires an email for account creation or recovery. Using a temporary email helps protect your main inbox from unwanted emails.

Open EmailMux and get a temporary email address with a trusted domain.
Go to Instagram Sign Up.
Input your details and use the temporary email in the email field.
Check the EmailMux inbox for the Instagram confirmation email and confirm your account.
Start browsing Instagram with your new anonymous account.

⚠️ Important: Instagram might occasionally require email re-verification, so keep the temporary inbox active until you're sure your account is stable.

Using Temporary Email for Other Social Networks

Many other social networks like Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Snapchat allow or require email verification during signup. The steps are very similar:

Generate a temporary email address using EmailMux.
Register on your chosen social network with the temporary email.
Open the EmailMux inbox to find and verify the confirmation email.
Complete registration and enjoy the service with your privacy intact.

💡 Tip: For platforms requiring ongoing email access (password resets, notifications), consider the temporary email lifespan or use EmailMux’s domain options to extend usage.
