How Do You Make a Meta Account?
Meta accounts can be made using an email address, with a Facebook or Instagram account, or created by separating your existing Quest profile from your Facebook account. This can be accomplished through the Meta website on both PC and mobile if you’re making a new account or separating an existing Quest profile from a Facebook account. Users who have never used virtual reality (VR) before and don’t want to associate their Meta account with a Facebook account can create a brand new account on the Meta website using just an email address. This same procedure also works for anyone who has previously used their Quest but doesn’t want to keep using their existing VR profile. Users who have previously set up their Quest using Facebook and want to keep games they’ve purchased need to create a Meta account using their Facebook account. If you use this method, you’ll have the choice to create an entirely separate Meta account that retains all of your previous game purchases or create a Meta account that’s tied to your Facebook account. Those who select the latter option will still be able to separate their Meta and Facebook accounts in the future via the Account Center.

How to Separate a Meta Account From Facebook
If you owned a Quest prior to the introduction of Meta accounts, then your Facebook account is tied to any games you bought on Quest, your VR profile, your headset, and the Meta Quest app. You can leave it that way if you want, or you can separate your Meta account so that the two are no longer linked. The Meta account will inherit all of your Quest purchases, and from that point on you’ll use it to log into your Quest. Here’s how to disconnect your Meta account from your Facebook account:
