Please note that within the VKontakte website, a login can mean three types of data from the same account:
- Mobile phone;
- Mailbox;
- Page URL.
In this article, we will look at the process of searching for all the specified data, which you can read in more detail from special articles on our website.
How to restore a page in contact if you forgot your password?
The procedure for restoring access to a page for which the password has been forgotten is quite simple. But there may be several options here. Simplest. If you only forgot your password, but you know your login. The more difficult moment is when you don't remember either one or the other.
But everything is in order. So, we don’t know the password, we wrote it down somewhere and lost it. How to proceed? We open the VK page and see the following:
Here we select the line “forgot password” next to the blue “login” button. Click and go to the window where you will need to enter a phone number or email address.
Then a window will open where you need to enter a code or captcha to confirm that you are a human and not a robot.
Next, you need to enter the last name you specified during registration. Then the system will find a profile with similar data and display them.
If this is your profile, click on the “Yes, this is the right page” button. Then you need to enter the phone number to which the recovery code will be sent. You enter it in the appropriate field and are taken to the password change page.
Create a new password and enter it in the attached form. Then you log into your profile and can already use your page.
Another variant. You don’t know your details or don’t remember them: neither your phone number, nor your login. Here we do things differently. Under the same access recovery form where you entered your phone or email, we find the line below:
“If you don’t remember your details or don’t have access to your phone, click here”
We click on the blue “click here” and we get to the section where you need to enter a link to your page.
Maybe someone remembers or has the page address written down, then you enter it. But more often than not, users don’t think about it. Then, we also read the line below: If “You don’t know the address, you can find your page in the people search. Click here". Click on the blue highlighted “click here”.
As a result, we end up on the list of people among whom we are looking for our page. In order not to search for a long time, enter your name in the top search line as it is indicated on the page and find yours in the list of options.
You can specify the request in the field on the right, where we enter information by region, age, gender, etc. But this takes into account that you entered this data. Found it, click on the side “this is my page”. A window opens where you need to enter the phone number associated with your personal page to confirm that it is really yours.
Enter the phone number that is linked to the page and you will receive an SMS with an access code. Enter and then access.
How to find out your login information yourself
There really is an effective way to obtain data yourself. It involves using one of the popular browsers.
Google Chrome browser
To obtain up-to-date information you must:
- Open the browser settings menu (the button with the image of three vertical dots).
- Select “Advanced” from the menu.
- Click the “Passwords and Forms” button, then go to the settings of this section of the interface.
- View all previously set passwords in the section. For convenience, you can use the search bar and enter the name of the social network into it.
- Press the demo button.
Administrator access to the computer may be required to obtain information.
Opera
The method for obtaining login data is similar to the previous one. To implement you will need:
- Press the menu button and go to system settings.
- Click the “Security” button. As a rule, in the latest versions of the browser it is located on the left.
- Open the management section.
- Click on the “Show saved passwords” item.
Yandex
You can also open the settings here using the button with the image of three vertical dots. The interface structure here is similar to the appearance of Google Chrome, so to work you will also need to go to the “Show additional settings” button. To do this you need to scroll down the page. Then here you should open the management section and the VKontakte website.
Before implementing the methods, it is important to pay attention to the fact that it is possible to view saved combinations only on the browser through which you entered the page on the social network. In addition, automatic saving is not always enabled, so the first time you log in to the selected browser, you must enable it by clicking the corresponding button in the pop-up notification.
Mozilla
In the program interface you will need:
- Open the protection point. It is located on the left side of the menu.
- Click "Saved Logins".
- View the list of addresses of electronic sites and select the requested one (Vkontakte).
- Open a section to view information about the page.
To prevent fraudulent actions regarding a profile on a social network, after viewing the necessary information, it is recommended to reset the settings and clear the saved data.
Restoring a page in contact if it is blocked
The social network VK has one “trick” that other social networks do not have. If the administration considers that your account is too active on the negative side - a lot of spam, it was hacked or something else, then the page is automatically blocked or frozen. As a result, when you enter your page, you receive the following notification:
We enter through the restore button and get to the form where we enter the phone number.
We enter your phone number and receive an access code. We enter it in the field below and get access to the page. It's simple. But there is also such a thing as temporary freezing. That is, on the page you see an inscription that it is frozen until a certain time.
Unfortunately, nothing will help here and you will have to wait for the timer to expire. After the expiration date, you will be able to use your page, but you will be asked to change your password.
If during a temporary freeze you do not want to wait for its expiration date, you will need to write to support and explain in detail that you were frozen incorrectly. If VK moderators find your arguments convincing, they may unblock the page ahead of schedule. But this is not the rule, but rather an exception, and a very rare one.
How to come up with a complex password for VKontakte?
There are several different ways to come up with a password. We will look at one of the popular and at the same time valid schemes.
So, first let's decide on the number of characters in the password. As a rule, experts advise using at least 8 characters, but this is the bare minimum (by the way, many users use a 6-digit password at best). And although 8 characters is the minimum length recommended for a password, the actual number of characters in it should be at least 10-12. Tell me, is this a lot? But account security is hundreds and even thousands of times higher.
Now let's start creating a password. Remember, it must contain both numbers and letters of different case and even special characters.
The simplest option is to take some Russian word and write it in the Latin layout. For example, the word smartphone on the English layout looks like this - cvfhnajy . This word has 8 characters. Few? Wait, we're not done yet.
So, the word is cvfhnajy . We add a number to it, for example, some kind of memorable one. Let this be the number 201. We get the word cvfhnajy201 . Just in case, we write the password with a capital letter to make the task more difficult for attackers and we get Cvfhnajy201 . Enough? No, you need to add special characters, for example * . Now our password looks like this - Cvfhnajy201* , as many as 12 characters, while the password itself is complex, but easy to remember. Of course, it is given as an example and we strongly do not recommend using it - come up with your own, fortunately, it’s simple.
By the way, just in case, you can write down the password itself somewhere in a notepad or notebook, and remove the latter as far as possible from human eyes.
Today we will tell you what complex or simple password you can come up with for VKontakte. We will tell you the main secrets of coming up with complex passwords so that no one can ever hack your page. Here are lists of examples of simple and complex passwords.
We hope our article will be useful to you, we will be glad to see your comments or remarks.
Recovering a contact page from an Android phone if you forgot your password
If you use VK not from a computer, but from a phone, then all operations are identical. Here you can use both the application and the browser. Open the application (or browser), enter the linked email or phone number.
On Android it is better to enter your phone number. We receive the access code. After entering the page, change the password. That's basically it. Faster and easier. Don't forget to write down your password so you can log in from your computer later.
Below watch the video that tells you how to restore access to your page.

What password can you come up with for VK?
The popular social network VKontakte has an excellent security system that protects the user’s page from all kinds of “theft” of the profile by automatically selecting passwords, even if hackers have the profile login. In most cases, the user himself is to blame for hacking pages, but sometimes the reason is that the password is too simple.
What does it mean? This is the simplest password, which consists of just a few characters or letters. For example:
- 123456 consecutive numbers
- 555555 repeating the same number
- qwertyuiop a series of letters located on the keyboard in a row
- samsung phone brand
- ivanov1991 surname with date of birth
- Lenaandrej names
These are just a few examples. Therefore, the more complex the password, the more securely the user’s page is protected and the less likely it is to be hacked.
What is the most difficult password you can come up with for VK?
There are many ways to guess a password, we will look at a few of them.
First you need to decide on the number of characters. As a rule, programmers advise using passwords consisting of at least eight characters, but this is not the limit. Although the recommended minimum length is eight, to secure your profile, it is best to use a password of ten to twelve. It would seem that why so much, but with such a long account, the account will be protected tens or even thousands of times more.
When you have already decided on the number of characters, you can proceed to the password itself.
examples of complex passwords for VK:
- obAoyBBtnW
- yUxdhEUHGn
- yKVPN8Adwm
- LQiXTFheYo
- vqDbErog4B
- cdN8rU9JXY
- m1tYxq8oNN
- wIspGLSoZZ
- Ikzio88BTX
- se95R2qpPR
The list could go on for a long time, but I think you get the point.
Selecting a service for receiving SMS
There are several online services that allow you to receive SMS. You will need to choose one of them.
smshub.org (Uncheck “random issue” and use US numbers) sms-activate.ru smsvk.net sms.kopeechka.store
After registering and replenishing your account, you need to find your account token (on the service website) and enter it in the program settings.
These services allow you to select the country of the number. Each country has its own cost for receiving SMS. It depends on the percentage of received SMS, current demand, supplier and some other factors. My advice is to use the cheapest options; you can restore to any country.
If you are a beginner, I recommend using the smshub.org service. It has cheap US numbers, and text messages are received almost always.
