How do I find my TikTok password?

Why You May Need to Find Your TikTok Password

There are several common reasons you may need to recover or reset your TikTok password:

• You forgot your password and can no longer log in to your account
• You changed phones or devices and need to log in to your TikTok account on the new device
• You got locked out of your account after entering the wrong password too many times
• Your account was hacked and you need to regain access by resetting the password
• You want to enable two-factor authentication, which requires confirming your current password first
• You simply want to change your password to something more secure

Resetting your TikTok password allows you to create a new password and regain access to your account. It’s a common need for many TikTok users at some point.

Navigate to TikTok’s Password Recovery Page

To reset your TikTok password, you’ll first need to navigate to TikTok’s password recovery page. This can be found at https://www.tiktok.com/login/email/forget-password

To get to this page:

1. Go to TikTok.com and click “Log In” in the top right corner.
2. On the login page, click on “Forgot password?” underneath the password field.
3. This will redirect you to the password recovery page where you can reset your password.

The direct link https://www.tiktok.com/login/email/forget-password will also take you to the password reset page. This allows you to skip logging in and clicking the “Forgot password?” link.

Enter Your Email, Phone, or Username

When resetting your TikTok password, you will need to enter the email, phone number, or username associated with your account. TikTok allows you to use any of these identifiers to recover your password. Here is an overview of each option:

Email: If you signed up for your TikTok account using an email address, you can enter that email to reset your password. TikTok will send a password reset link to that email address.

Phone Number: If you added a phone number to your TikTok account, you can enter that phone number to reset your password. TikTok will send a verification code via text message to that number.

Username: Your unique TikTok username can also be used to reset your password. Enter the exact username you set up for your account. Keep in mind your username is public, so this may be less secure than using a private email or phone number.

TikTok allows password recovery through email, phone number, or username as a convenience to users. Choose the option associated with your account that you have easiest access to. Entering your information accurately is key for receiving the password reset link or verification code.

Select Recovery Method

Once you enter your email, phone number, or username on the password recovery page, TikTok will present you with the available account recovery options. The main methods are:

• Email – TikTok will send a password reset link to the email associated with your account. Click the link to create a new password. This is the most common recovery method.
• SMS – TikTok will send a verification code via text message to the phone number linked to your account. Enter this code on the recovery page to proceed.
• Username – If no email or phone number is associated with the account, you may be able to verify identity and reset the password using just the username.

TikTok determines the available recovery methods based on the information associated with your account. Simply choose the method presented to proceed. If unsure, try email or phone number first, as these are most commonly available.

Enter Code Sent to Email or Phone

Once you request a password reset on TikTok, they will send a verification code to either your email or phone number, depending on which recovery method you selected. This 6-digit verification code is crucial to resetting your password.

If you selected email as your recovery method, the code will be sent to the email associated with your TikTok account. Check your inbox for an email from TikTok with the subject “Your TikTok Verification Code.” If you don’t see the email, check your spam or junk folder.

If you chose to receive the code via text message, it will be sent to the phone number linked to your account. You may need to wait a few minutes for the text to arrive.

Once you have the 6-digit verification code, return to the TikTok password reset page and enter it in the designated field. Be sure to enter the numbers carefully and double check for accuracy. The code is time sensitive and will expire shortly, so enter it as soon as you receive it.

Submitting the correct verification code will allow TikTok to confirm your identity and prompt you to create a new password for your account. Take care to choose a strong password you can remember.

Create a New Password

After entering the code sent to your email or phone number, TikTok will prompt you to create a new password for your account. It’s important to set a strong password that’s difficult for others to guess. According to TikTok’s password requirements:

• The password must be between 8-20 characters long.
• It must contain a combination of letters, numbers, and/or symbols.
• It cannot contain repetitions like “111” or sequences like “123”.
• It cannot contain commonly used phrases or personal information like your name.

For better security, experts recommend using a randomized mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols in your password. Avoid using common words or phrases. Do not reuse your TikTok password on other websites. Once you’ve created a strong, unique password, enter it again to confirm and complete resetting your TikTok password. You can now use your new password to log back into your account.

Contact TikTok Support

If you’ve tried all the previous password reset options and still can’t access your account, you can reach out to TikTok’s support team for additional assistance. TikTok’s support website has an online contact form you can fill out explaining your situation. Be sure to provide as much helpful information as possible, such as your username, email, phone number associated with the account, and any other details that could help verify your identity.

You can find the contact form here: https://support.tiktok.com/en/contact

In the category dropdown, select “Account access issues” and then “Forgot password.” Clearly explain that you are unable to reset your password through the standard methods. The support team may request additional details to confirm your identity, but will work to resolve your issue and regain access to your account.

With persistence and by providing as much helpful information as possible, TikTok’s support team should be able to assist you in resetting your password so you can regain access to your account.

Password Best Practices

Using strong, unique passwords is one of the best ways to keep your TikTok account secure. Here are some tips for creating and managing passwords safely:

• Use a password manager like LastPass or 1Password to generate and store unique, complex passwords.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in your TikTok account settings for extra security.
• Never reuse passwords across multiple sites or accounts. If one account is compromised, reused passwords put other accounts at risk.
• Use unpredictable password combinations of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Consider using a passphrase instead of a password for greater security.
• Don’t use personal information like your name, birthday, or dictionary words in passwords.
• Periodically change your TikTok password, at least every 90 days.
• Avoid entering your TikTok password on public WiFi networks.

Following password best practices greatly reduces the chances of your TikTok account being hacked or compromised. Investing the small amount of time to create and manage strong, unique passwords is worth securing your account.
