How can I look at my VK password to make sure that it is not forgotten and that I can safely log out of my account? Most often, we allow the browser to “put” all the codes in a secret box. It helpfully substitutes stored keys, eliminating the need to constantly enter long combinations. And then one day the scheme does not work, and the social network requires authorization according to the rules, with the entry of a password. Has this ever happened?
Is it possible to view the treasured symbols directly from the page without leaving your VKontakte profile, or will you have to use more cunning methods? Let's explore all the options below!
How to find out your password through a browser
There is another way to find out your password. If you use a browser to log into a social network and have agreed to save your password, you can easily find it.
In Google Chrome browser
If you are using Google Chrome :
- Click on the vertical ellipsis on the right and go to “Settings”. Google Chrome Settings
- A window will open in a new tab.
Google Chrome Settings Window - Find “Password Settings” and click on the arrow.
Password settings in Google Chrome - Scroll to vk.com and click on the eye icon to see the password. Looking at the password in Google Chrome
In the Opera browser:
- Click on the “Menu” (Opera logo) on the right. We find the item “ Settings"or use keyboard shortcuts Alt+P
Opera settings - Select the “Advanced” sub-item and the “Security” item.
Security settings in Opera - Find the “Passwords” section, click on the arrow and you can see the password for the page in VK, just like in the Google Chrome browser. Viewing your password in the Opera browser
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.
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.
Good luck!

What to do if you forgot your VKontakte login and password: 4 valuable tips
If you are the owner of a page on VKontakte and have forgotten how to log into your profile, then we have prepared a number of tips for you that will most likely help solve the problem.
Tip #1: if you have access to the VK activation phone number
During the initial registration on VKontakte, the system prompts you to enter your mobile phone number into the application. If it has not changed, then just enter it into the login field on the start page, then enter the password (if you remember it, of course) - and you are already in your profile! Most importantly, don't forget to identify your number using your country code.
And if you don’t remember the password, then you have the right to re-order it to your phone number: it will arrive in the form of SMS.
Tip #2: There is no access to the activation phone number
It’s really bad if for some reason you don’t even remember the phone number specified during registration (this happens if you logged into the social network a long time ago). You need to try to remember this treasured number, rummage through the phone books of your friends and relatives - you’ll see, you’ll find it somewhere.
If you have linked your email to your profile, you can enter it to recover your password - and part of the digits of the phone number will be revealed to you, which can help awaken memories.
Confirm using your phone
As a last resort, you can contact VKontakte technical support and they will dictate your activation phone number, but for this you will have to try and, firstly, reliably identify your identity, and secondly, wait a while.
Tip #3: try logging in using email
If the phone options don’t suit you, then try entering your email address in the login field (maybe you’ll be lucky and remember to indicate it when logging in) and your old password.
If the login is successful, we advise you to immediately visit “Settings” and change the phone number recorded there to the one that actually exists at the moment.
Tip No. 4: both the password and login are forgotten forever, and the linked phone number does not exist
In such a tragic situation, there are only two options, and if someone offers to solve the problem for money in another way, this is one hundred percent fraud.
So, try to restore your SIM card - to do this you will need to visit the office of your mobile operator and fulfill a number of requirements of its employees. Then, if all goes well, restore access via SMS.
The most final option is to submit a formal application for reinstatement. It only works if your profile contains your real data and a photo whose quality is sufficient for personal identification, that is, this method is prohibited for fake pages.
Forgotten login
To submit an application, you need to click on “Restore access to page” , check the box “No access to number” , and enter a link to your profile or its ID. When the system determines your profile, check the information found is correct and fill in the lines with information about yourself (the most important position is your current mobile number). If technical support specialists need any clarification, they will send a link to fill out an extended questionnaire.
IMPORTANT: You will need not only a valid activation number, but also a good photo of you from such an angle that it will include the completed application, a scanned copy or photocopy of any document (where the applicant’s name and surname are clearly visible), as well as a comment about why your profile login information was lost and how exactly.
After completing all the above steps, a confirmation code will be sent to your mobile phone. Then you will have to wait a couple of days, and if they decide to approve the application, then an SMS with the corresponding content will be sent to your phone, with a new VK login and password.
Let's hope that our advice will help you restore access to your VKontakte page. Be that as it may, the login and password are your personal area of responsibility, and if you cannot prove your identity to the technical support service with a high degree of reliability or refuse to comply with their requirements, then no one will be able to help you and you will have to go through the entire authorization path again and creating a page.
How to find out someone else's credentials from VKontakte
I don’t know why I would need a login and password from someone else’s page on VK and I doubt that anyone is interested in such information with good intentions. But I can say that you can find out the codes of another person using the same methods described above, if you have access to his computer. Or if your friend or co-worker inadvertently accessed their profile from your device and saved their login information.
