Twitter third party app not retrieving email

Question

I'm using loopback and passport to login to an app via twitter. The problem is that when I log in, the email I get from my twitter profile data is something like this:

[email protected]

which obviously, its not my actual email address.

I there something with twitter apps that hide email addresses? I couldn't find any documentation on this.

If you link your accounts, i think it will be solved.

Actually it causes from this code line

var email = profile.emails && profile.emails[0] && profile.emails[0].value;
if (!email) {
  // Fake an e-mail
  email = (profile.username || profile.id) + '@loopback.' +
          (profile.provider || provider) + '.com';
}

You can get more info from Login and account linking
