    As you can see in my answer linked by ha14,
    http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/hide-email-address-facebook

    You can just click here : http://goo.gl/684Ir
    and set email visibility to only me.
    If you have a normal profile with wall.

    In case if you have timeline,
    you will have to click on update info
    goo.gl/684Ir
    and click edit on contact information section.

    You can set it to “only me” or make it visible to selected friends or group, whom you want to allow to  contact via email, which can be useful by customized visibility.

      There’s a number of ways to prevent someone from accessing your private accounts. First, you want to remove all your saved passwords from your computer. Second, you want to erase any cookies that automatically log you into your accounts.

      If your passwords are saved, try this article by Columbia University:

      If you just want to remove auto logging cookies, try using CCleaner:

      There’s a lot of different ways to remove autologging cookies, but the fastest is to install CCleaner and just nuke all the cookies on your computer, within all browsers.

      I suggest avoiding CCleaner to clean your registry

      Be warned that after you use CCleaner, you will have logged out of all your accounts. If you don’t have the right passwords memorized, you may be required to reset your password for each account you’ve forgotten. In a worst case scenario, some passwords might be lost. Good luck!

      You can also access Facebook using Incognito mode(in Google Chrome)/Start Private Browsing(in Firefox),after which you close that session will not remember any history,cookies.

      Also,as Kannon said,don’t allow your browser to save any password.

Please wait...
