I am glad to welcome you friends to my blog. Alexander Melnichuk is in touch with you, and in this article we will talk about how to change your contact login using simple and understandable methods. In most cases, the login changes extremely rarely due to certain circumstances: - The attacker knows your login and attempts are made to hack your account;
— You have lost access to the email that was specified in your account profile and used to log into it.
Important point! You can use either an email address or a mobile phone number linked to your page as a login for the VKontakte social network.
Let's look at 2 options for changing your login - using email or using a mobile phone number.
How to change VKontakte login without SMS?
If you decide to change your VKontakte login without a phone, then you will need at least an email. This is the login for VKontakte authorization. It must be specified at the entrance to get to your page. Otherwise, you will not be able to change your login.
Once you are inside your account, open “My Settings” in the left menu and scroll down the page to the line “Your email address.” The top line will show your login, that is, the current address and part of it will be closed with asterisks. This is like a kind of protection against scammers.
Change login - email
- Here, in the line - “New address”, indicate the new login and save it. A confirmation email will be sent to your new mailbox, where you need to follow the link and all changes will be saved. You will also receive a notification to your old address that your email has been changed.
Change login to OK
Changing personal data on Odnoklassniki is a free, publicly available option, but not every social network user knows how to change their login and password. Let's figure this problem out! We bring to your attention step-by-step and most detailed instructions for the process of replacing a login on Odnoklassniki:
First of all, you need to open your page on Odnoklassniki. When you log in, you will be offered the choice of entering the phone number you specified during registration, or your own email address, as well as a security password.
The page will contain information such as:
In order to replace data, you need to enter the settings menu, which is located directly under your photo and is called “Change settings”.
The “Basic” setup menu contains information about the user and you can change it here. Move your mouse cursor to the window called “Login” and the “Change” function will become available. The password changes in the same way.
To change the information, you need to confirm your actions by entering a code that the system will send to your phone number absolutely free of charge. It is previously impossible to change your login without using the phone number specified during registration. If you have not yet linked your page to a phone number, then in order to replace data and carry out any other operations, you will have to do this.
Enter the 6 received numbers in the special window and click on the “Confirm code” button.
Now you need to enter your old login password and the new login that you created for yourself and click on the “Save” button.
How to change your VKontakte login if you have a phone number?
- If you use a phone number as a login, then changes will be made according to a similar scheme. The setting is located in the same section, but you need to make changes in the “Your phone number” .
Change the phone number - login
- The number you are using will be shown there and below it a line - “Change phone number” .
- Click on it and enter a new phone number in the line. Confirm it with the code and it will be saved.
It is worth saying that the number will not be changed instantly. For security reasons, VKontakte gives 14 days for this. All this time you will be notified that the number will be changed, and before day X you will receive a notification about the change.
The easiest way to change the login in this way is for those people who have access to the old number. This allows you to speed up the process by re-verifying your number. To do this, you need to click on the notification from the system and the corresponding line will be indicated there.
Change your username on Skype (video)
In order to understand the issue, you can watch the video instructions, which will also say that this parameter cannot be edited. The fact is that during registration you were asked to indicate an interesting and adequate nickname, which will always be shown in your account, and by which friends and new users could find you. That is, its removal may lead to serious failures and incorrect operation of the profile and the entire system as a whole. That is why the wise creators excluded this option. Every action you take must be deliberate and rational.
We invite you to also find out so that you are aware and can tell your friends about it.
If you use everything wisely and do not make unnecessary movements, then you will avoid errors like “login is invalid” or further problems with authorization (it happens that the messenger “does not allow” you to enter the login information). But if this happens, check the following:
- does the keyboard work (type something in notepad - suddenly the capslock is stuck or the layout is wrong);
- whether there is a virus;
- quality of Internet connection.
We wish you all the best!
A login is a set of alphabetic (Latin) and numeric characters that users use to log into a social network. On Odnoklassniki, it is selected when the user registers or is installed automatically. Often, for greater convenience and to avoid frequent requests for data loss, a phone number can be used instead of a user login, which is not always convenient.
How to change your VKontakte login to a phone number?
If you've always used email to sign in, you'll probably be interested in how you can now use your phone instead.
It's actually very easy to do. If your number is already linked, the process will be easier.
When the page does not yet have a link to a number, you need to do this in the settings. The whole operation looks approximately the same as when changing the number, you just won’t have the old one. After saving the necessary parameters, you will be able to use your phone number and log into your page.
If the number is already saved, then you don’t need to do anything. You can immediately use it to log in. In other words, it’s whatever you like best - you can use both telephone and mail at once.
Find out the login through the settings
First, let's look at the simplest option on how to find out the login from the VK page. To do this, just look at the page settings section. You will first need to undergo authorization. You can use your email or phone number to log into the site. Next, click on the account avatar, which is located in the upper right corner of the page.
In the site menu that appears, click on the “Settings” item. Next, go to the “General” tab. If you are wondering how to find out your login in “VK” and plan to use E-Mail in this capacity, you should find the corresponding block on the page and click on the “Change” link. In the field called “New Address”, enter your current email.
Is it possible and how to restore the VKontakte login?
- If you have forgotten what login your VKontakte page is, you can restore it. To do this, on the login page, follow the link “Can’t log in?” . A window will open for you to access the page.
Can't log in?
- At the bottom, select “Click here” and then enter your account address and proceed further.
Click here
- Here we select our page and indicate all the data that is known, and after that the application is sent to the administration.
Now you know how to change your login. All that remains is to figure out the login.
Login rules
- The combination should not be too short, that is, consist of less than 6 characters. For example: Fiona.
- To compose, you need to use only Latin letters and Arabic numbers, otherwise the system will say that the login was entered in the wrong format.
- You cannot use a combination that is already occupied by another user. If the combination you came up with was previously liked by someone else, just add a few more letters or numbers to it. For example: Fiona4 is a busy login, but Fiona4Fiona4 or Fiona443322 are free.
How to change VKontakte password?
In addition to the login, sometimes users need to change their password. How to do this? Indeed, a password is a pass to virtual life and it should be convenient and memorable. Otherwise, it must be changed, and on VKontakte it is extremely easy to do this.
- So, first open the page settings and find the password line
- Here we select “Change password”
- The form that opens will have three fields
Changing the password
- First we write the current password, and then we indicate the new one twice. This allows you to avoid various spelling errors and ensure that the password is correct
- Once completed, click on the “Change Password” and it will be saved
How to save your VKontakte password in a browser: step-by-step instructions
When using the VKontakte social network, users from time to time were faced with the opportunity to save their password in the browser memory. There is nothing unusual about this feature, as it is present in all modern browsers and is used for all sites that have a registration form.
Sometimes users, intentionally or unknowingly, deprive themselves of the ability to quickly save passwords. This can backfire, especially if multiple accounts are used simultaneously.
Forgot both login and password
If you cannot remember your login, or if you have forgotten both your login and password, you will have to restore access. There are two ways, both here: Restoring access without a phone. The first one is recommended as it is simpler and faster. Not everyone will be able to restore using the second method (read the necessary conditions there), it is more difficult and will take much more time.
There are no other ways. Only you can restore the page yourself. It is useless to write anywhere and ask for it to be restored. No one will do it for you. Such rules. Only you and only these two ways.
How to delete a remembered login when logging in
By default, input information is saved on the VK login page, this is done for our convenience. If you do not want the combination to remain in the input window, check the “Someone else’s computer” box.
If you forgot about the checkbox and logged into the system from someone else’s device, we recommend deleting the data. To delete logins in VK when logging in, log out, highlight the combination and press two Delete+Shift keys simultaneously.
This action does not always work for sure, so we recommend clearing the “Passwords” tab in your browser settings. Using Mozilla Firefox as an example, we will show how to do this:
- Open your browser;
- Click on the three stripes at the top right (call up Menu);
- Select the “Settings” section;
- Go to the “Privacy and Protection” block;
- Scroll the window to the “Logins and Passwords” item;
- Click on the “Saved Logins” button;
- Enter your combination in the search bar;
- When you find it in the list, delete it by pressing Delete+Shift;
- Done, you managed to remove auto-filling of your VK login through your browser settings.
For reference, we will briefly describe how to delete a remembered VK login in other popular browsers.
- In Google Chrome, the “Logins and Passwords” tab is located in the “Show advanced settings” submenu (link at the very bottom of the settings window).
- The Yandex Browser interface is similar to Chrome.
- In Opera, you need to find in the settings the item “Delete personal data” - “Detailed settings” - “Password management”.
This way you will be able to delete a saved login in Contact, literally, in two clicks.
We strongly recommend that you always clean the tab with passwords and logins after logging into a third-party computer.
What if I forgot my phone number?
If you forgot the number with which you entered VK, then most likely you no longer have this number. Try to remember. Find out from your friends - maybe they still have it on their phone or in their notebook. If you can’t find out, then unless too much time has passed since you lost your number, the first one
recovery method - click here: .
In the case when an email address is attached to the page, you can specify it when recovering the password - then VK will show part of the digits of the number that is the login. This will help you remember it.

Hello, friends! We have already looked at it, now I will tell you how to change the login from your page. This may be necessary if you have created a new mailbox or decided to change your mobile phone number.
If you registered on the VKontakte social network a long time ago, then you probably use the email address to which your account is linked as a login. Those users who registered relatively recently indicated only their mobile phone number. This is what they now use as a login.
Indeed, both options are correct. When logging into your VKontakte account, you can enter either your email or mobile number in the “Login” field. The main thing is that your profile settings indicate the current email or phone number you are entering.
If you only have a phone number in your settings, then use it, but if you want to access your page by entering your email address in the “Login” field, then add your email on the settings page in the appropriate field.
Now let's take a closer look at what needs to be done to change the login for logging into your VKontakte account.
How to find out the password in VK, knowing the login
If you know exactly your login from the page, then the easiest way to easily find out the password on VKontakte is to use the “Forgot your password?” function. If you have a phone number, you will quickly gain control of your account. In cases where there is no data from the page (forgotten, for example, because you rarely use it), you can use another way to find out the necessary information - use special software.
To obtain the necessary data, you can download a free program. Your computer should contain encrypted information about all your passwords and logins that you entered in your browsers. It is not in the public domain and is presented as a jumbled set of numbers and letters. This was done to protect against hackers so that other people could not, for example, hack your account through a work computer or from a machine from an online club. Special programs help you save the data you need in the usual login/password form. You can choose any one from the list below:
- Multi Password Recovery Porlable – opens all encryptions on the computer, can be launched from removable media, does not require installation on the PC.
- PasswdFinder is a scanner that finds and recovers ciphers from a computer.
- WebBrowserPassView is a free utility that reads secret combinations from browser fields.
Password
We have already told you how to find out your login on VK. The password should be discussed separately. You will also have to look for it in the “Settings” section. Let's move on to it. Open the “Password” block. You can click the "Change" button to open the password change form. In this case, we have to indicate the previous data and then enter the new password twice.
After completing these steps, use the “Change Password” button. However, this form does not allow you to view the current code without changing it. A browser can help with this. It will be useful if you saved your login information to the site in the browser itself. The browser itself offers to save this information when you enter the site.
Let's describe how to find it out, using Mozilla Firefox as an example. Open the menu and go to the “Settings” item. Next we need the “Protection” tab. Here we use the “Saved Logins” function. After this, a form will appear containing all the saved data.
We use the search bar and indicate vk.com in it. As a result, we will receive a list of all logins for which data was saved. After that, click on the “Display passwords” button. Transaction confirmation will be required. Click “Yes”. An additional field called “Passwords” will appear on the form. This is where your login information will be displayed.
How to log into VK if you forgot your login? I don't remember him. How to find out? There is a solution! Let's figure it out now.
What is “VK login”
Full-fledged work with the VK social network requires the creation of a personal profile. Logging into the system requires you to specify your username and password, where it can be used:
- Mobile phone number. One of the modern requirements that guarantees maximum account security from hacking and intruders;
- E-mail address. Confirmation emails and other notifications will be sent here. Offers less reliability than the above method.
Since several accounts can be linked to one phone or email, a unique digital identifier is attached to each profile. Unlike the above parameters, it cannot be changed.
The above parameters may be needed when:
- accessing the page from different computers or smartphones;
- need to top up your wallet balance (VK Pay);
- purchasing packages of votes;
- working with third-party services and programs that require account synchronization.
How to change your VK login if you don’t have access to your old phone number or e-mail?
If you don’t have the password for your old mailbox and your mobile phone has been lost, don’t worry. In this case, you can also change the login, although it will take much longer.
You will be provided with a form where you will need to fill out the following fields:
- the login that you intend to use in the future;
- current login;
- country and year of registration of the VK page;
- comment where you indicate information about the loss of access to phone or mail.
If you do not remember any of the information from the above, you can leave the fields blank, but then there is less chance of changing your login. VKontakte will also request an image of your identity document and a photo of you in the background of the form you are filling out. Next, you submit your application, and if the VK administration approves it, your login will be changed.
Such a procedure as changing the VK login is accessible to absolutely any user and is not quite complicated. Now you know how to do it.
There is nothing permanent in the world. Everything changes - living and nonliving - it increases, decreases, changes shape, color, structure, structure, in general, it is transformed in every possible way. And online - in different corners of the Internet - this action takes place. For example, in accounts on the social network VK: changing the password is carried out for security purposes, and the need to change the VKontakte login arises from the need to organize convenient authorization on the site; but, of course, data can be updated for other reasons.
From this article you will learn how to change your VKontakte password (change it, for example, to a more complex one) and login.
Changing your Kate Mobile password
Let's look at another method in an alternative application for logging into VK - Kate Mobile.
Changing your login, that is, your phone number, will not work here. This must be done either through a computer or through the official application. You can change passwords in any of the available accounts as follows:

- select Page Settings;
- in the settings window, click on the top option;
