How to recover your VKontakte password saved in your browser
The basic, yet working, way to recover your account page password is through the browser settings you used to successfully authorize to your profile.
The thing is that desktop and mobile browsers store the login data for autofill forms (not always, but as a rule). You can access them using their settings
Method 1: access the main browser settings
To retrieve your password, you have to access the following sections:
- In Google Chrome: type chrome://settings/passwords in the browser address bar and go to this address.
- In Opera: enter opera://settings/passwords in the browser and go to this address.
- In the search box enter "vc".
- Click the "Show" button next to the VKontakte address.
- When prompted, enter the PC Administrator password.
- The desired password will be displayed instead of the asterisks.
Sethod 2: viewing password through the original html
If you have forgotten your VKontakte password saved in your browser in the form of asterisks (or dots), you can easily recall it.
How to do this:
- Open the login page of your profile.
- Put your cursor on the password line.
- The password will be displayed in a text field in the form of asterisks.
- Click the right mouse button to open the context menu.
- Choose "View item code" or "Inspect item" (each browser has a different name).
- The developer window opens with the html page code.
- The mouse pointer will be placed in the field with the entry:
- Replace on this line the entry:
- The password figures appear.

After your computer or phone is infected with a virus, the user may encounter an offer of paid VKontakte page restore via SMS in their browser window.

- Maybe there will be 2 hosts /files, in this case check the second one also for redundancies.
- After that, in most cases access is restored.
Edit the hosts file which might contain the mentioning of VKontakte
If after deleting the lines from the file by itself no changes have occurred and the virus keeps blocking the page,
- Try to download the original and correct folder etc

How to unfreeze your VK profile page
When logging into VKontakte, site asks to link page to phone number due to suspicious activity? We need to figure out the reason for this situation. Enter your phone number, and if a message appears asking you to send a paid code to the number - you will be convinced that there is a virus on your computer, which has nothing to do with the messages from VKontakte tech support. The social network will not ask you to send messages to any numbers, on the contrary, the site itself sends the codes automatically.
To restore a VKontakte page, you have to do the same steps with the replacement of the hosts file as described in the last subsection.
Remove VKontakte page and restore it
Remove VKontakte page quite simply:
- On the left side of the social network vk.com open the "My settings".
- At the very bottom of the page that appears, you will see "You can delete your page".
- In the list choose the reason for deletion: this information will be displayed in your friends feed.
- You may uncheck this box and you will not show the deletion of your page in your feed.
- If you do not indicate a reason, you will see the entry "user silently deleted his page" on your behalf.
To restore a deleted VKC page:
- Log in with your password
- Go to the "Recover your page" link.
- The deleted page keeps the information for one year.
- If you forget the address, you can try to find it in the list of your friends or in the groups, to recall it later.

Can you tell me how i can restore vk and log in to my former page, i didn't delete it, i just forgot my password and i don't own my former number. Maybe I need to buy a new phone number for this, I'm willing to do it, just to restore my old page. HELP!
Answer . To restore your VKontakte access, you need to restore your phone sim card. Although you won't be able to get back the contacts saved on the sim card, when you restore the number, you will be able to access your VK page. All you need to do is to contact your mobile operator through which you issued the sim card and phone number. You may do that either through the Call Center, by calling the operator and giving the code word or directly to the nearest office of mobile operator.
If the phone number has already been given to another user, you will need to contact them by calling and explaining your problem. Then you will probably be able to send a code to his number, restore your vkontakte page and change the phone number.
I deleted my page six months ago, the linked number is valid and so is the email, but I don't remember the password. When I enter the number and e-mail, the answer is that the page is not found.

Four days ago I deleted my VKontakte page, today I wanted to restore it, but cannot do it. I logged in through my phone, I enter my VK phone number and password (exactly correct), VKontakte gives me the message: "Authorization error. Incorrect login or password". Already many times I tried to enter the login and password, in general nothing is possible from the phone! I cannot log in from the computer, since it is in repair. Help, how can I recover my VK password? There may be many reasons. Maybe you are using the Russian keyboard layout instead of the English one. Try to enter the phone number with and without the international code. Try to access VKontakte through a different browser on the phone.
By the way, VKontakte password recovery is possible not only by phone number, but also through email and login. Phone number is already the last option to restore, in fact.
I forgot my password and recently recovered it with my old password, since I don't have the number I linked my page to. And the VK team approved to restore access to the page, and they gave me a new login and password, and after 24 hours I wanted to go in - but I don't go in. Why won't I log in?
By the way, I put the phone number I use as the login of the other page on the available number. Could this be the reason why I am not logging in? How to restore a page in contact after deletion? Is there any way to fix the problem? Chances are that you are using the wrong password to access your account. Please enter the one that VKontakte support has sent you. Did you not change the password to another one immediately after access recovery? Try to restore access to your VKontakte page not by phone number but by email. Once again contact technical support. If there were any irregularities on their side, maybe the problem is in the wording of your question to them.

Hello, I have a very complicated situation! I have a few accounts in Vkontakte and one of them is my anonymous (fake page) that I used for 3 years and I left there a lot of valuable information. In order to avoid hacking the page, I connected two-factor authentication to it. And I didn't write down the password anywhere(.

But my android constantly recorded, didn't load internet, and a month and a half ago I reset it to factory settings. All app data was wiped, and I didn't write down the password and completely forgot it.
