What is a Facebook Test Account
A test account helps users test different things on Facebook without using their real account. Let’s assume that you are a security researcher and you spend your time finding bugs or vulnerabilities on Facebook. In such a case, you can create a test account without a separate email ID or phone number. You only need a regular account which you must have already. Facebook’s fake or spam account detection system cannot detect these test accounts.
What are the limitations of a test account?

Create a Test Account on Facebook
Log into your Facebook account and then visit this page. Click on the Create New Account button.

How to sign up for Facebook without using a number?
You can create one using an email account or if you have an existing account, then create a test account.

Also, ensure you have a secondary email added for recovery.
How to recover a Facebook account without an email id?
If you are having trouble logging into your Facebook account, you may be able to regain access by using an alternate email or mobile phone number that is listed on your account. To do this, go to facebook.com/login/identify and follow the instructions. You will need to use a computer or mobile phone that you have previously used to log into your Facebook account.
