What To Do If You Forgot Your Snapchat Password or Email

Instead of throwing a temper tantrum

These days, Snapchat is one of the main platforms of communication many people use on iOS and Android devices. It became popular because of its ability to delete photos or messages after being sent. But now there are many features that make it a great way to chat with others. Now, you can save chats and photos, and access them within your Snapchat account.

Losing your password and/or email for Snapchat can be extremely frustrating, as you may have many important contacts, pictures or videos inyour account. Thankfully, there are a few different ways you can get back into your account no matter how much information you have.

How to Reset Password on Snapchat

When you log into Snapchat, but don’t have your password, there is a way you can easily reset it and get back into your account. Follow these steps to get back in:

Once you create a new password, you can use it to log back into your account.

What to Do If You Forgot Your Email and Phone Number

If you happen to forget the email associated with your account, or don’t have a phone number attached to it, it will be more difficult to get into your account. Snapchat can’t reset a password for an account if you forgot the email or phone number associated with it, or don’t have access to them, for security reasons.

However, there is a way to prevent a complete lock out from your account if these situations were to occur. You can set up a recovery code in Snapchat to get your account back. This can be useful especially in cases where you lose an account to hackers. Here’s how to set up a recovery code.

Make sure you keep your recovery code safe, as it can be vital in the future for getting back into your account. These codes can’t be sent to email, and support isn’t offered to lost codes. So, you’ll want to make sure you always have access to it. It’s best to write it down instead of keeping it on your iPad/iPhone/Android device, in case these are stolen.

How to Contact Snapchat Support for a Lost Account

If the email or phone number associated with your account isn’t working, you may be able to get help from Snapchat support. Keep in mind that they won’t be able to help if your email or phone number is not associated with the Snapchat username you provide.

Here’s how to contact Snapchat support:

Snapchat support should get back to you within 24 hours, and you can determine the next steps to take with your account from there. If all else fails, you may have to create anew Snapchat account.

Get Back Into Your Snapchat Account

It can be frustrating trying to get back into Snapchat if you’ve forgotten a lot of the information associated with your account. However, you can try the methods outlined above and see if they work for you. Snapchat support can also help you, and let you know if there’s a way to get back in.
