Registration in VK - how to create a page? detailed instructions

The process of registering a new VKontakte page

All actions are performed on the official website of the social network - vk.com. Carefully check the domain name in the address bar of your browser during registration and subsequent authorization, otherwise you will lose access to your account

.

1. Follow the link vk.com. Fill in – First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth. In the future, this data can be changed, but with certain difficulties.

2. Click “Continue registration”. Enter a real phone number that you have access to. You will receive a five-digit code to confirm your registration.

Until 2011, it was possible to create accounts with only an email address. SMS authentication was introduced to combat the creation of “fake” pages and the subsequent sending of spam.

3. Enter the received code in the specified form. If the code did not arrive or is not suitable, request a resend in two to three minutes.

4. In the fourth step, come up with a strong, easy-to-remember password or use our generator that creates crack-resistant passwords.

5. After the message about successful registration, you will be asked to tell a little about yourself. This information will help VK algorithms find possible friends or work colleagues. You can skip this step and return to it later.

6. Be sure to indicate your real email address, otherwise this pop-up window will haunt you the entire time you are on the site

.

After completing the settings, go to the “Privacy” - “Other” section and disable the “Companies can send me messages by phone number” option.

How to register on VKontakte from a computer?

If the user does not yet have a personal page, after going to the vk.com website on the right side of the screen, he can immediately begin creating a new profile. To do this, you need to enter your first and last name in the appropriate fields, as well as indicate your date of birth. To confirm your actions, you need to click on the green “Continue registration” button.

On the next page, you first need to select your country, then enter your phone number and check the box next to the agreement with the terms of use of the service. Next you need to click on “Get code”.

As a result, a call will be made to the phone from a special number. In the field that appears on the site, you need to enter the last 4 digits that end with this number and click on the “Send code” button.

Next, the site will ask you to create a password, which will be used in the future to enter this page. Finally, you need to click on “Log in to the site.”

Note!

The VKontakte password can contain not only Latin, but also Cyrillic letters, and it must be no shorter than six characters.

On the next page, you can click on the “Continue” button to proceed to filling out your profile, or select “Skip” to immediately start using the social network.

If the user selects “Continue”, in the next window he can progressively provide the following information about himself:

• Country and city of residence;
• The higher educational institution in which he studied or is studying, along with the faculty, direction, form of study, status and time of graduation.

To confirm your actions, you just need to click on “Continue”, but here you can also select the “Specify later” option.

In the next window, you can enter your email address and then click “Continue.” You can also simply skip this item by clicking on the “Specify later” button. After this, the user’s personal VKontakte page will be fully registered, and he will be taken to the site, from where he can continue editing his profile.

Creating a profile via mobile phone

Registration from a smartphone based on Android or iPhone is possible in two ways:

• Through the mobile version of the site – m.vk.com. The process is no different from the above;
• Through an application installed from the Play Market or AppStore.

Using the application will save traffic and being on the social network will be much more convenient.

1. Install the official VKontakte application on your smartphone.

2. After starting, follow the suggested steps one by one. They are described in more detail in the first part of the article.

Once you complete the process, you will receive notifications about new interactions with your profile, which web version users are deprived of.

Why is it better to register using your number?

Many users consider using their own number unsafe or a waste of time. All VKontakte plans can only be considered a concern for one’s own interests, but this also has benefits for the user. If you register using your phone number, the user has a number of advantages.

Advantages of “correct” registration:

1. You can always log in to VKontakte on any device using your phone number.
2. Having access to a phone number linked to VK guarantees greater security of the page. If the phone number is confirmed, the likelihood of the page being hacked is greatly reduced. The thing is that the user can always regain access to his profile through the phone. It is not profitable for attackers to spend a lot of time and money on an unpredictable result.

3. If a smartphone or computer is connected to the page, the corresponding symbol appears next to the Online line. In the case of a smartphone, the phone image is displayed, and with a computer, only Online is displayed. If an attacker authorizes someone else's account, the owner will find out about it faster.
4. It is possible to set up two-step authentication: login using a password and a code from your phone. Such a system cannot be bypassed even if login data is stolen.

When creating your own page on VK, it is highly advisable to use your own phone number. At the same time, many people still do not have a mobile phone at all or have previously registered for the card. In such cases, you will have to create an account without a mobile phone.

How to register VK without a phone number

In this part, I will describe the registration process using a virtual SIM card obtained from the activation service. Such services issue a disposable phone number, which you specify during registration, and then provide an authentication code.

The disadvantage of this method is that if access is lost, it will not be possible to restore the page, since there will no longer be access to the number

.

I have tabulated popular services that I periodically use myself.

Let's look at getting a number using sms-activate.ru as an example.

1. Register. Select the country - “Russia”. Find “VKontakte” in the list.

2. Top up your account with the required amount. Return to the desired site. Click "Buy".

3. A number will appear ready to receive the message. Enter it during the registration process.

4. When receiving the code, the system will inform you with a sound signal. At the end of the process, do not forget to press the “Green button”.

This number will no longer be available - save your VK login and password separately.

Pinger registration process

So, how to register in contact if there is already a page? First you need to visit the service page.

We won’t need a form to log in for an existing user yet, so you need to select the “Create account” option.

Important! To fully use the service, you will need a recent version of Flash Player.

Selecting this option will direct the user to a page with a registration form.

Be afraid that all the points are not in English, even though the browser translator will not translate them. In any case, there is no Russian version of the service.

This form must be completed as follows:

1. Username, which will subsequently become the login for logging into the service.
2. A unique secure password, which will also be needed to log in.
3. Password confirmation.
4. Email address to receive notifications and restore access in emergency situations.
5. Mandatory agreement with the terms of use of the service
6. A verification code that confirms that the user is not a robot.
7. Account creation button.

If you fill out the fields incorrectly or do not confirm your agreement with the terms of use and privacy policy of the resource, then registration will be impossible.

Next, the system will determine the most suitable virtual number for the user’s region.

For this you will need:

1. Enter your postal code (this site will help you find it).
2. Select your gender (Male – man, Female – woman).
3. Indicate age (it is better to indicate age over 18 years).
4. Click the button to search for the most suitable phone number.

After this, the system will select numbers for some time.

As a result, a list of them will appear. You need to select one from those offered and confirm your choice with the “Confirm” button.

The choice occurs once, after which it is impossible to change the number for a specific account.

After this, the system will offer to publish news about the purchase of a virtual mobile number on the Facebook page. This choice is optional, so you can simply click “Cancel”.

After this, a page with a message manager will open. There will be a field in the center of the screen. In which received messages will be displayed.

There will be an update button above it (useful if the message does not arrive for a long time).

To view your own virtual phone number, gently press the “Options” button. It will be indicated at the top of the form, in the “Phone number” column.

It can be selected and copied to the clipboard (Ctrl+C).

It is only important not to copy anything after this, otherwise the number will be erased from the buffer and you will have to copy it again.

Invitation (invite) and via Facebook

The network mentions two methods (conditionally free) - importing a valid account from Facebook (using a VPN) and registering by invitation. Both indicate that a phone is not required. During the writing of the article, they were tested - they do not work, in both cases “sim” is required.

But importing from FB is a convenient option - all data is taken from the profile of a foreign social network and imported into a new VK profile. I will briefly describe it.

1. Go to the main page – vk.com. Select Continue with Facebook.

2. In the pop-up window, log in.

3. Wait for the import to finish, enter the code from the SMS, create a new password - you’re done.

Is it possible to register without a phone number?

It is impossible to answer the question unambiguously. In general, registration without a number is not available. If the user does not enter a phone number, he will lose access to most of the basic functions of VK. Even communication with other users, access to adding friends and joining groups will be unavailable. The listed actions are the basis of the social network, without which using VKontakte loses its meaning.

On the other hand, the user has access to some features without verifying the phone number. This way you can listen to music and watch videos. For these tasks you only need to register to any email. Maybe soon this opportunity will be blocked in the fight against fakes. It is also worth remembering that users who have not verified their phone number are much more vulnerable to attackers.

Registration conditions

Firstly, to register you will need personal information: last name, first name, phone number and age. This is mandatory information, there is also additional information - place of study, residence, interests, etc., but it is not necessary to indicate it. No one will check how truthfully you filled out the fields, so you can register under a pseudonym and take any age. Officially, registration on the social network is permitted for persons over 13 years of age.

Secondly, to create an account, you will need a phone number in any case. Registration by email is not possible. The only official alternative is to log in via Facebook. But to get a Facebook account, you will also need a phone number.

There is a way to register without a phone: get a virtual number provided by a specialized service and use it for registration.

Do I need to register again if access to the page is lost?

If your account has been hacked or your password has been forgotten, you do not need to create a new one. At any time, you can recover your password or change it if it was found out by someone who shouldn’t know it. The only thing you need is the number to which the page is linked. Without it, there is no way to get a new password.

1. Go to the official VKontakte website and click on the “Forgot your password?” button.

How to register without a mobile number?

Today there are 3 ways to achieve your goal. Each method has certain difficulties and implementation nuances. One of the methods will require purchasing a virtual number, another SIM card or a home phone. Read more about each method below.

Using a fake number

This is the first method that comes to mind. To implement this method, you need to get a phone number that has not previously registered an account. This could be a newly purchased SIM card or a card from a friend or relative (especially the older generation). The next method is extremely simple - you need to enter the fake card number and confirm it via SMS.

If you have a home phone, there is another way out of the situation. In the registration field, you must enter a landline phone number, making sure to include the area code. The phone number must have 11 digits in total. Next you need to click on the “Get code” button. It will not be possible to send an SMS, so the robot will call the specified number and dictate the code.

According to users, any number of accounts can be registered with the same landline phone number. It is worth understanding that you will not be able to recover your password, the phone will not accept SMS, and the robot will not dictate the number when restoring.

Via virtual number

The principle of performing the procedure is completely the same as in the first case. The only difference is that you will not have a physical SIM card on hand. There are special services that sell virtual numbers. These include: Pringer, Kendo UI and others.

For example, you can take Pringer. The service is designed specifically for the purpose of receiving SMS messages with an activation code. Here you need to first get your own phone number, for which you will have to register.

Algorithm of actions:

1. To log in faster, you can use login through social networks or go through standard registration.
2. Select the desired phone number from the available ones and confirm your choice.
3. Go to the social network and request a code to your phone number.
4. Copy the code from the service to the social network page.

The advantage of the service is that this number is issued forever. It can also be used in the future to register for other services. If necessary, you can restore access to VK.

Via Facebook

The developers provide the ability to transfer a profile from FB to VK to foreign users. To determine the country of origin, an IP address ownership test is used. In order for VKontakte to count a user as a foreign citizen, you need to change the IP address. This can be done using a simple browser extension Browsec.

You just need to launch the plugin and the IP will automatically switch to another country. With the extension active, you need to go to the page for registering in VK. The home page will display the option to log in via Facebook. If you don’t have an account on FB, you can register one and all you need is an email.

Restoring a page created in this way will not work or will be quite difficult.

Registration on VKontakte without a phone number is quite doable.
There are already 3 good ways to do this, which provide access to all VK functions. True, many of them do not allow you to restore access to your profile. It is worth remembering that if you use your account for spam, the system will freeze your profile. To unlock it, VK will ask you to enter a code from an SMS. You can only unlock your profile if you have a virtual phone number or a SIM card of a close relative. In other cases, access to the profile will be lost. Found a typo?
