What to do if you have lost your electronic key

You can log into your account and protect it without an electronic key. To do this, you will need to perform a number of steps, which will depend on whether you have added an additional authentication method, for example:

confirmation code;
notification from Google;
backup code;
another electronic key;
a registered computer on which you have disabled verification codes.

If you have configured an additional authentication method

Sign in to your Google Account using your password and secondary authentication method.
Remove the lost key from your account.
. We recommend purchasing a spare electronic key in advance and storing it in a safe place.
.

If you have not configured an additional authentication method or have forgotten your password

Note. Two-step authentication provides more reliable data protection. For this reason, it may take us up to 3-5 business days to verify that you are the account owner.

Changing a group's number

The instructions above tell you how to change the phone number in VK for a specific profile. In the case of a group, two situations are possible - replacing the owner or changing the SIM for your account. In the first, you will have to go through a process that is typical for replacing the owner.

The algorithm of actions is as follows:

Log in to the community you want to change ownership for.
Click on the Management section on the right side.
Go to the Participants tab. Immediately after this, the system displays the entire list of community members.
Enter the first and last name of the person you plan to appoint as the new group owner. If there is no such person in VK, ask the person to leave the community and join it again. In this case, it will appear at the very top and you can save time on searching.

To change the owner, make the person an administrator. This can be done in the permissions section. Without this, it will not be possible to transfer rights to the group.
Confirm your action.
A corresponding inscription appears near the person.

All that remains is to click on the edit button and change the person’s status - assign him as the owner. The VKontakte administration warns of the consequences and indicates the conditions for the transfer of rights. An SMS message is sent to your phone, which must be entered in a special field. If the code does not arrive, you can request another one, but it will arrive on your phone no earlier than seven days later.

In this way, you can change the number in VK via phone or PC, but provided that you use the full version of the site. You have two weeks to cancel your actions. If you change your mind, during this period you can click on the corresponding button in the notifications and return the rights.

Now you know how to change the phone number in a VKontakte group and replace the owner. The new owner could be a close friend, an acquaintance, or even you. In the latter case, you will have to create a fake page, which is not always convenient. If you do not plan to change the owner, you can do it easier - change the phone number in your VK profile according to the scheme discussed in the first section. Video instructions for the phone:

In the lower right corner there is a Change tab, you need to click on it;

If you need to change a contact's photo, click on it and then select another option.

After this, click on the Save button. You can view the changed data by finding the number of the desired subscriber in the phone book.

Open the Contacts application;
Find the contact that needs to be deleted and click on it;
In the upper right corner of the screen, click on the three vertical dots. Here select the line More and then Delete. Next, you just need to confirm your intentions.

To delete several contacts at the same time, you need to click on them individually and hold for a couple of seconds until the check mark appears. After this, you need to click on the Delete icon and confirm your intentions.

What information can websites and apps request access to?

Sites and applications may request access to different types of data, for example:

View basic profile information. Many sites and apps only ask for access to information such as your name, email address, and profile photo. For example, you provide access to this information when you use the Google Account sign-in feature on a third-party site that supports that feature. This way, you'll register your account faster and won't have to create new passwords.
View more information in your Google Account. In addition to basic profile information, some sites and apps may ask for permission to view and copy other information in your account, such as contacts, Google Photos, YouTube playlists, and more.
Editing, uploading and creating content in your Google account. In addition to the permissions listed above, some sites and apps may require access to perform Google Account actions such as editing, uploading, and creating content. For example, with your permission, an editing app can edit videos and upload them to YouTube, or a scheduling app can create new events in Google Calendar.

Full account access

If you give a site or app Full Control, it can view, copy, edit, delete, and add new information to virtually anything in your Google Account. However, sites and apps with full access cannot change your password, delete your account, or use Google Pay to send, request, or receive funds.

Advice. A list of all sites and applications that have access to your account can be viewed on the Google Account page. To make it more convenient for you to manage access to all resources at once, Google services are listed in this list along with third-party applications. For example, if you download the Google Chrome browser to your Mac, you will see that it has full access to your account. Don't worry, Google keeps your data secure and private.

How to speed up unbinding

This method involves violating the user agreement and freezing the page with subsequent restoration. To implement it you need:

Save a link to a third-party resource in your profile. For example, a “likes” exchange is suitable for this.
Refresh the page several times and wait until it is blocked.
On the page with the message about the freeze, enter a new phone number.
Receive and enter the code received in the SMS message.
Unblock.

The replacement will be carried out within the next 24 hours. Now the new mobile number will be used for permanent login.

This data helps protect your account and restore access to it.

Backup phone number

We may use your number to:

send you a code to log into your account if it is blocked;
block access to your account for strangers;

On the computer

Without a new number

It will not be possible to completely unlink the old phone from the VKontakte page without adding a new one. The system simply won't allow you to do this. There is no button for deleting a number in the settings, there is only a button for changing it.

The developers did this in order to protect user accounts from hacking by intruders. The mobile phone number should always be linked to the page, because it is with the help of it that a person will be able to recover the password to his profile if he suddenly loses it. Therefore, if you want to unlink a number from a VK page in 2021, you should add another number to replace the old one.

And tie another one

To link a new mobile phone, you need to do the steps below:

Open your page and go to the settings section
Next you need to open the section “General", opposite the mobile phone, press the command "Change»
Then we enter a new phone number and select the button to receive a code

A code will be sent to the entered phone number, which will need to be entered into the input window. After this, the new phone number will be linked, and the old one will be unlinked.

Change phone number

Changing an additional phone number is easy: link a new additional number and delete the old one.

Note. If you have lost your SIM card or it has stopped working, you can restore the number at the office of your mobile operator.

To change your protected number:

Go to the Phone Numbers page.
Click the Replace link next to your protected phone number
If the old number is not available to you, turn off the Number... available to me switch (in this case, the number will change only in a month).
Enter the new phone number in the field and click the Replace button.
Yandex will send a confirmation code to the new phone number, as well as a notification and code to the old number (if you indicated that it is available to you). You will also receive notifications to all email addresses associated with your account.
Note. One number cannot be linked to more than 10 accounts at the same time. If the entered number is already linked to 10 accounts, Yandex.Passport will automatically unlink it from the others. Notification letters will be sent to the mailboxes of unlinked accounts.

5 years ago

RPI.su is the largest Russian-language database of questions and answers. Our project was implemented as a continuation of the popular service otvety.google.ru, which was closed and deleted on April 30, 2015.

We decided to resurrect the useful Google Answers service so that anyone can publicly find out the answer to their question from the Internet community.

All questions added to the Google Answers site have been copied and stored here. Old usernames are also displayed as they previously existed. You just need to register again to be able to ask questions or answer others.

Registration in VK without a phone number

So there can be no such registration in VK without a phone number, because after you click “Register” it is impossible to proceed to the next step without entering the number. However, you can create an account on Facebook and log in to VK using Facebook. It is important that the e-mail is not exposed, that is, use a clean email that does not have a single VK account registered on it.

As you can see, registration without a number is possible, BUT it is not a fact that everything will go smoothly.

Everyone knows that there are so many spyware programs floating around on the Internet now and then, which every now and then try to penetrate your computer and steal all your data, or worse, disable it. Especially such spies find their living on social networks. More often, such residents live on VKontakte. Therefore, the site administrators decided to link your page to your phone.

Of course, this measure is bearing fruit, but for some reason many people want to unlink the page from the number on VKontakte.

How to unlink a number from a VKontakte page?

Many users ask the question: “ How to unlink a number from a VKontakte page?

“The answer to it will be very simple: “No way.” This function has been disabled since 2013, but you can unlink a page from a number to link it to another one or to an e-mail.

To change the number on the box, you need to take just a few steps:

To do this, you need to go to your page in “My Settings”, then go to “Notifications” and in the “E-Mail for notifications” line enter your email address, and where “Notification via SMS” delete your number.
In just a few minutes, you will receive an email with a confirmation link that you must click on, thereby giving your consent. And oops! All is ready!

How to unlink a page from a number using virtual number services

Virtual number services for receiving SMS will help us. There are a huge number of them:

But I will show the instructions using the example of sms-reg.com:

firstly, it has a separate option “Vkontakte activation” - this guarantees us that another account is not yet linked to the provided number;
Secondly, it has an affordable pricing policy: we will pay only 12 rubles (you must admit that if the fee for a virtual number is higher than $4, it is easier to buy a SIM “for one time”).

Step 1. Check the reliability of your account

If you don’t want to lose access to your account and delete your VK page, I advise you to ensure its security in advance. We go to “My Settings” and make sure that the current email address is specified - this is the only remaining way to restore access.

Step 2. Working with the sms-reg service

We go to the service website sms-reg.com and register. We will need 12 rubles, so we will immediately top up the balance.

Now on the service page we select the region of the numbers (I chose “Russian”) and the service (Our option is “VKontakte 12 rubles.”). Click “Get a number” and wait for the service to find a free virtual number. Ready? Copy it to the clipboard.

Step 3. Unlink the VKontakte page from the number

Go to VKontakte, in the “My Settings” menu, click “Change phone number” and paste the virtual number from the clipboard. Click “Get code”.

Step 4. Receive SMS

We return to the sms-reg page and click the “SMS” button. We are waiting for an SMS response: the process may take up to 10 minutes. Copy the code to the clipboard, paste it on Vkontakte and click “Send code”.

Done: your VKontakte page is unlinked from your real phone number.

What you need to pay attention to: by default, VKontakte will link the page to the new number after 14 days. But if you still have access to your old phone, follow the instructions on VKontakte to speed up the process

How can you unlink a VK page from your phone number?

Starting from 2013, you won’t be able to simply unlink a phone number from your VKontakte account (previously you could do this by specifying Email as the main linking type). That is, now it will not be possible to simply delete your phone number and not offer a new one in return. This is understandable - VK has moved to a high security standard and the entrance to the site is primarily tied to a mobile phone.

However, you can easily change this same number to another, thereby unlinking your page from the old number

, to which you, for example, could have lost access for one reason or another. In general, for starters, it would be nice to understand a few rules that VKontakte moderators and administrators adhere to:

You can use one mobile phone number. Thus, the system is trying to combat spam pages, which many use to cheat and make money, although all this is served under the guise that it is supposedly more convenient for users. Therefore, it will no longer be possible to create a new page for the same number.
However, if you already have another account on this social network
(for example, registered before 2013, when it was enough to link another Email address), then you can link to it the phone number that is already used on your other account in VC.
This will naturally remove the required number
. True, then when you log into such an account (with an unlinked number), you will be strongly advised to link some phone to it so that you will be tortured, but this is the tenth thing.

From the above rules and conditions for working with VKontakte, several conclusions can be drawn at the moment:

Without any problems, you can unlink from the page a number to which you have lost access
(lost your SIM card, threw it away, gave it to someone, etc.). The official method (if access to the old number is not possible) will take you two weeks, and the unofficial (although somewhat risky) method will take you one day.
If you have another account in VK, then the number can be transferred to it, thereby unlinking it from the desired page (there can be a lot of reasons). Here again, certain delays are possible at different steps, but in principle everything is feasible (I’ve done this myself more than once).
The third option in the series - I didn't tell you this.
Spammers still bypass Contact's restrictions on the number of pages registered per person and use various services for this, which can be called a “temporary mobile number” (you will get access to SMS messages sent to it). The number received there can be used to implement the first unlinking option (the official one), thereby deleting the real number and replacing it with a fake one. Of course, this will significantly complicate or make it impossible to restore access to the page, but in some cases it may be necessary to unlink the number just before deleting the page, so as not to leave unnecessary waste later.

Cleaning the kitchen

There is always a lot of garbage in the kitchen. Since food is prepared in this place, during the process you can scatter cereals, pour water or oil. Also, after cooking, there will be a bunch of dirty dishes left, the stove, table and everything that is nearby may get dirty. Therefore, it is worth starting with establishing general order.

Place clean dishes in their places, put away what can be put away in the closet immediately, so as not to clutter up the common space. Place towels and oven mitts in a cabinet or in a designated place for them.

Wash all the dirty dishes that have accumulated and place them on the drying rack. After this, wash the sink and the table next to it. While the dishes are drying, wipe the window sill, shelves, and cabinets from dust.

Pay special attention to the gas stove, as this appliance often remains dirty

Check the refrigerator, it may contain food that should have been thrown away a long time ago. Wipe down all interior walls and shelves

Pay special attention to the freezer, maybe it’s time to defrost it and put it in order

Don't forget to look behind the cabinets; food scraps may have fallen behind them, and this will attract cockroaches and mice.

When everything is cleaned and washed, you can sweep and wash the floor.

Complete account deletion from Google account

Complete deletion of data is carried out in your Google profile, in your personal account on the website myaccount.google.com. Before you delete your account, you need to log out of it on your smartphone. Then:

In your personal account, open the “Data and Personalization” section.
Scroll down to the “Download, delete, schedule” block and click “Delete a service or account.”
In the next menu, open “Delete Google Account”.
For security purposes, please enter your password again.
Google warns what the consequences will be if you delete it, and what personal data it will cost.
Be sure to check the boxes next to “I agree to be responsible for all charges…” and “Yes, I want to permanently delete my Google account.”
Then, click "Delete".

Is it possible to change the number if you no longer have access to it?

The reasons for data changes may vary. One of them is the loss of a SIM card or its theft with an old smartphone. If SIM restoration is not possible, it is still possible to change the linked number in VK. The downside is that in this case you will have to wait longer for verification.

The algorithm is like this:

Repeat steps 1 to 4 when a special sign appears before your eyes. It says that a message was sent to the mailbox and the old phone that, for security reasons, the changes will take effect after 14 days.
If you don’t want to wait 14 days, but you don’t have access to the old number, click on the appropriate button. In this case, you need to undergo additional verification to ensure that the page belongs to a specific owner.

Knowing how to change your phone number in VK, you can change confidential data at any time and regain access to your personal account.
The process takes place instantly if you have access to the old SIM card. If it is not there, you will have to wait a while for safety reasons. There are also situations when you need to change the linked number in VK, but the new SIM is already linked to another page. In this case, you need to unlink the phone from the old VK profile. For this:

register on the website onlinesim.ru;
pay in the Payment section (for SMS code);

open the Receiving SMS section, and in the service select VKontakte;
copy the number and go to VK settings, and then Change;
set the copied number and click Get code;
return to the onlinesim.ru service and copy the code that was sent to your phone;
paste the copied code into the VK confirmation window and send it.

In this way, it is possible to untie the old phone without his participation. The downside is that you will have to pay a small amount for the service.
