How to link VK to mail: without a password, instead of a number, from a phone

Telegram channel Programmer and business. Every day there are interesting stories about how a programmer builds a business.

When creating an account on the VKontakte social network, a mandatory requirement is to enter a mobile phone number. With its help, it is possible to unlock the page in the future if you have forgotten your password. But this is not the only way; you can also do it using an email address. Let's look at how to link VK to mail below.

Link to mail

In the “General” section, find the “Your email address” field and indicate the desired address. Important! After saving the settings, the email address will be displayed in the format с***@mail.com, that is, an attacker who has access to your page will not be able to recognize your email.
You can also set up email alerts for events happening on your social media page. To do this, go to the notifications tab, find the “Email Alerts” section, specify your email address and configure the frequency of notifications - “Always notify” or “Notify no more than once a day.”

Linking to a phone number

We go to our page on the social network “VKontakte”, click on the link “My settings”.
In the “General” section, find the “Your phone number” field and indicate the number in the format +7 (ХХХ)ХХХХХХХ. Important! After saving the settings, the phone will be displayed in the format +7 *** *** ** 18, that is, an attacker who has access to your page will not be able to find out your mobile number.
You can also set up phone alerts about events happening on your social network page. To do this, go to the notifications tab, find the “Alerts via SMS” section and check the “Receive SMS notifications” box.

Interestingly, you can respond to notifications, that is, if a user sends you a personal message on VKontakte, you can reply to him via SMS, but the answer will also be sent to his social network profile. However, remember that alerts are free, but responses will cost you. The tariff is determined by the operator. Information on the cost of SMS for your specific case can be found in the “Mobile Services” tab of the “My Settings” menu of the social network.

How to start a new page?

To create, you need to open the site from any of the devices: laptop, computer, smartphone or tablet.

Initially, registration could be done using email. At this point in time, this method no longer works, because the VK account is linked to the mobile phone number entered during registration.

In this case, only one account can be linked to one number. This was done in order to reduce the number of unused accounts. If you do not want to enter your phone number, then you will not be able to have a page on this social network, since without this data it will not be activated.

You can create your account even now; to do this, you need to enter the address https://vk.com/ in the address bar of your browser, where you will be prompted to register.

FIRST STEP. Entering the required data

In the window that opens in front of you, you must indicate your first name, last name and date of birth. Do this carefully and do not make mistakes. After you have entered the required information, click on the “Register” command and move on.

Naturally, if you wish, you can indicate invented names and date of birth. If for some reason your account is blocked, you will not have a chance to recover, because to unblock the site’s technical support will ask you to confirm the page with your passport, which will not contain any written data.

SECOND STEP. We attach a mobile phone.

Now enter your phone number, click on the “Get code” command and wait for the SMS. The message contains a code with which you can continue registration.

THIRD STEP. We enter the code from SMS.

The numbers you received will need to be entered into a special cell, and then click “Send code”. This is necessary in case your page is hacked or blocked, you have the opportunity to restore access to it.

Quite often, when for some reason the first message does not arrive. Maybe you made a mistake if you entered the wrong mobile number. In this case, you need to click “Specify another number” with the correct numbers and click on the “Send code” command again.

But, if everything was entered correctly, you need to click on the “I didn’t receive the code” command.

Another SMS is sent to you. In the window you need to select the command “No need, SMS has arrived”; if the message has arrived, select another option. If the message does not arrive, then technical support has created a robocall for this case. When you call, the service will dictate the numbers you need. Click the command line “Yes, let the robot call.”

FOURTH STEP: Enter your password and log into the site.

After you send the code, the “Password” box appears. Now it’s time to come up with a strong password, which should contain letters of the Latin alphabet and numbers.

Insert the combination you came up with in the window and on your own, I recommend that you write it down on a piece of paper or in your smartphone’s Notes if you suddenly forget.

Programs that have been designed to store various passwords will also help you solve this problem.

To determine the strength of the password you created, there is a color indication. When it turns green, you have created a secure password.

If you have met all the requirements, click the “Log in to the site” command.

VKontakte will congratulate you on your registration and invite you to fill out more detailed information about yourself.

Next, a window will open asking you to enter your email.

It’s worth doing this, first of all, for greater security of your page. If you do not want to enter this information, click “Specify later.”

You are almost there!

The site will ask you to come up with a “Beautiful address for your page.” You have the opportunity to compose it yourself or choose from those that will be presented automatically.

Unique name of the VKontakte page address After everything you have gone through, you get to your page. Now you can use the social network to its fullest.

Already hacked

If you were hacked on a social network and your password was changed, but you did not link to your email or phone, then you will need to write a letter to the site support service by filling out a special form, in which, in particular, you will need to indicate your passport data. Also, be patient, it will take 2-3 weeks for support to respond.

E-mail functions as one of the user identifiers in the system. Therefore, the account owner has to link it to his page and break this connection when the need arises. The similarity of the functions that are assigned to the e-mail and phone number of the account owner leads to the fact that it is possible to do the same as from e-mail

What should I do if I can’t unlink or link my mailbox?

Sometimes users do not have access to the old email, or to the linked mobile phone to which the confirmation code is sent. In this case, there is only one way out - contacting support.

So that you don’t have to spend a long time looking for the right window to send a request, follow this link: https://vk.com/support?act=new&from=&id=8492. The following form will appear in front of you:

Provide the name of your problem and describe it in detail;
Please note that there are icons for attaching documents or photographs (screenshots);
Paste a link to your profile;
Enter your linked mobile phone.
Submit your request.

The response most often comes within 7 business days. Moderators will help you unlink old and add new mail to VK.

Thus, we found out how to delete an email on VKontakte, or rather, how to unlink the old mailbox and link a new one. We recommend that you provide your current email address in order to promptly receive important information related to account protection.

Disconnecting from an email address

If you need to unlink the VK page from your mail, then you should go to the start page, where the “My Settings” item is activated.

After entering “Alerts”, there is an item called “Email Alerts”. Next, you will need the “Change” item in the top line of the E-Mail for alerts: a***@xxx.ru (change). Use the left button to go to the tab with the field for specifying a new mailing address. For reference, the current address is displayed next to this field.

The system confirms the change by sending a corresponding message to the old and new mailing addresses.

You can unlink VK pages from email using the same rules through the “General” tab, where there is also an option for editing email data.

How to set up notifications that come by email

There are two types of notifications on VKontakte - some come directly to your profile, others are also duplicated to your linked email. As we said above, you can’t completely remove email from VK, but you can turn off notifications. In this case, you will not receive any emails from the social network, except in situations related to a risk to the security of your account.

To disable VK notifications from mail, follow the instructions below:

Go to your profile and go to “Settings” again;

In the right column of the section, find the “Notifications” item;

Scroll the window to the very bottom, the last block is “E-mail notifications”;

Uncheck all the boxes from there. You can leave something if you wish, but do not forget to adjust the frequency of notifications by clicking on the appropriate link;

Go upstairs and, if necessary, adjust the alert settings on the site. At the very top of the window there are buttons that allow you to completely turn off notifications.

If you have done everything according to the instructions, but notifications still do not arrive, then instead of thinking why notifications are not coming, check all the settings.

Linking to email

Linking your VK page to your email won’t be a big problem. The procedure begins with the “My Settings” item in the left main menu of the start page. After the transition, approximately in the middle of the “General” section, there is the item “Your email address”. The new address information is entered here. The solution to the problem of Linking VK pages to email is confirmed by the system by sending a corresponding message to the newly specified address.

Changing the frequency and volume of messages automatically sent by e-mail is carried out through the “Alerts” section and the “E-mail Alerts” item.

Why can't I bind a new address?

Sometimes users have problems changing their email address. This can happen for several reasons:

The address entered is incorrect. When filling out, carefully review the field, watch for spaces, underlining, numbers and signs.
Temporary mail has been entered. It is possible to create mailboxes that delete themselves after a set time. Instagram is able to recognize disposable mail and refuses to attach it. Such mails include: tempmail, dropmail, trashmail, etc.
Email not confirmed. Check your mailbox: within 24 hours you should receive an active link to complete the replacement procedure.

Features of disabling ask

Due to the great popularity of the ask.fm network, a problem that can be formulated as: how to untie an ask from a VK page without the need to communicate with it becomes very relevant.

According to the temporary scheme, the task of how to unlink an ask from VK pages is solved by logging into your profile on ask.fm and then activating the “Settings” section. In the window that appears, find and click the “Deactivate Profile” button.

If you need to permanently block, ask-like is entered through the settings of your profile in the web address section. The blocking is carried out by the administrator, after which it becomes impossible to restore access.

We change our IP to the IP of any European country, then we will create a page on Facebook, and then we will register a VKontakte page via Facebook, and you will not be asked for a phone number.

At the moment this cannot be done. Because the VKontakte administration needs some proof that you are not a robot. If you link your phone to the VKontakte page, you will not be able to unlink it from there. By doing this, the administration ensures that you have only one page. And they won’t transfer the phone number from one page to another (I asked).

Probably, many have noticed or themselves use the function when you can log in to VKontakte via Facebook.

You can use this function to avoid linking your VKontakte page to your phone. To do this, you need to register on VKontakte via Facebook. But this opportunity is only available to foreign residents, since VKontakte is expanding and is eager to be popularized in the foreign market.

And here an anonymizer will come to the rescue to create the appearance that you have entered from another country. But it should be noted that the CIS countries are not suitable for this; for residents of these countries, a telephone is required. So click on the bottom button quot; log in via Facebookquot;.

An alternative to linking a contact page to a mobile phone number is to use a Facebook social network account. You can use the pinger virtual telephony service. After completing a simple registration, you will be offered a virtual number with which you can receive SMS messages containing a registration code.

Once upon a time I tried to access the VKontakte website from a smartphone. But the browser was new and naturally there were no bookmarks. In order not to enter a phone number and password, I used to log into the site from my Facebook account, there was such an option below. But I ended up on a completely new account. Therefore, you can try this option.

In order not to link your phone number when registering on Vkontakte, you can simply go through this entire registration process through the social network Facebook. You can also resort to using it when registering virtual numbers that you can find on virtual services.

The only way not to link YOUR phone to the VKontakte page is to link another number. For example, you can use virtual numbers, however, if you take a free service, the number will not be tied for a long time - someone else will use it for the same purposes.

On VKontakte, you cannot refuse the requirement to link a phone number. At least for now. But, there is one trick that will allow you (at least it worked before) to bypass the requirement to indicate a number when registering. The fact is that VKontakte imposes such a requirement only on CIS countries, but if you register on VKontakte from abroad, from any country in the European Union or from any state in America, then registration is possible through Facebook. That is, the algorithm is like this:

It is currently not possible to register directly on the Contact site without linking a phone number, but you can still register using another method. In order to register without linking a phone number, you need to carry out some steps. You need to change your IP to any European one, then register through your Facebook account. Before this, you need to create an account on Facebook. With Facebook you don't have to provide your phone number.
It's hard not to be tied to your phone. But it’s easier not to link directly to your number. You need to find a service where you can rent a phone number; they usually give you one or three free ones to try, with very limited capabilities. We register, now you can specify a new number, and calls will be forwarded to your Russian one. We are trying to register in VK, you will not receive an SMS, but we need the function: quot; let the robot callquot ;. We dial the numbers dictated by the robot.

Instructions

First, make sure your page has been linked to an email address. To do this, go to your page (https://vk.com) and in the “My Settings” section, select the “Alerts” tab. At the bottom of the tab you will see an entry for “Email Alerts”. Check whether the e-mail for notifications is indicated there (if the page is not linked to an e-mail address, you will not be able to unlink the phone number).

After this, you will receive a message by phone with a code that you must enter in a special field in the “Switch off notifications” window. If the SMS does not arrive within 15 minutes, request the code again by clicking on the appropriate link, or try again later.

After deleting your phone number, in order to access the page, you must enter the email address to which your page is linked as your login. However, when using a page without a linked number, there is one not very pleasant moment: you will constantly receive reminders about linking a phone number.

You can unlink the number before deleting the page (simply deleting it is not enough, since the number will remain attached to it), or link it to another page or use it when registering on the VKontakte social network.

You can also change the previous mobile phone number listed on your page if you have access to it. To do this, go to the “My Settings” section, select the “General” tab and in the “Your phone number” item, where the current number is displayed, click “Change phone number”. Then enter the new number in the window that appears.

After this, two numbers (old and new) will receive an SMS with a confirmation code. The phone number will change after entering the codes on the VKontakte page.

Users of social networks know that they require a mobile phone number to be linked. Unfortunately, the old SIM card may be lost or the number may be blocked, which makes it necessary to unlink the number from the page.

Most modern social networks literally force their users to attach mobile phone numbers to their pages. This procedure is the basis for the security of a particular social network. This procedure will make it possible to find out whether the person is trying to log in or change confidential data (login, password, etc.). Sometimes a user may need an old mobile number and everyone has their own reasons for this. It is worth noting that a social network is desirable only in cases where the user either intends to delete the page, or when there is no need to receive various types of notifications. In addition, if one number was linked to a specific page, and then, on the contrary, then it will not be possible to install it again.

via phone number (if your first account is registered to the same number, SMS verification is possible).
