Forgot Your Snapchat Password? Here’s How to Reset It

Did you forget your Snapchat password and now freaking out about your Snapstreak expiring? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us. If you forgot your Snapchat password and don’t want to waste any more time recalling, here’s how you can reset it or change it and get access to your account right away.

How to Reset Snapchat Password

Now, there are a couple of ways to go about resetting your forgotten Snapchat password. You can either use your registered phone number or email address. We have explained both methods in detail below, so please take a look if you are looking for a quick solution.

Method 1: Reset Snapchat Password With Phone Number

If you forgot which email you used to sign up for your Snapchat account, here’s how to reset your Snapchat password.

1. On the Log In page, enter your Snapchat Username and then tap on Forgot Your Password?.
2. Now, tap on Via Phone to reset your Snapchat password using your phone number.
3. Here, enter your registered mobile number and tap on Submit.

4. Pick Send via Text or Call me instead to receive the 6-digit code. In my case, I selected the Send via text option.
5. Enter the 6-digit verification code.
6. Now, enter your new password, confirm it, and then tap on Change Password.

When a new password is set, you’ll see the “Password Changed!” message on the screen.

Method 2: Reset Snapchat Password Using Email Address

Now, if you don’t have access to the mobile number associated with your Snapchat account, and you are stuck at the login screen, then here’s how you can reset the password.

1. On the Snapchat login page, enter your Snapchat Username and tap on Forget Your Password?.
2. Now, tap on Via Email to reset your Snapchat password using your email.
3. Here, enter your email address and tap on Send confirmation code.

4. Now, head over to your email and open the email with the link to reset your password.
5. Tap on the link, and it will redirect you to a webpage to reset your Snapchat password.
6. Here, enter your new password, confirm it, and tap on Change Password.

When a new password is set, you’ll see the “Password Changed!” message on the screen.

Method 3: Change Your Snapchat Password within the App

If you already have access to your Snapchat account and wish to change your current password to a stronger one, then follow these steps:

1. On Snapchat, tap on your profile icon at the top left.
2. Here, tap on the cogwheel icon at the top right.
3. Now, select Password and enter your current password on the next screen.

12. Type a new strong password, and retype it to confirm your new Snapchat password.
13. I highly suggest you tick the Save Login Info on your device box.

Why Are You Unable to Reset Snapchat Password?

As we have shown above, resetting your Snapchat password is a fairly easy process. However, if you are unable to go through with the process, then there could be a few reasons for it:

• Incorrect username, email, or phone number: You won’t be able to reset your Snapchat password if you are using an incorrect username, email address, or phone number. Make sure to check the details properly, and then try again.
• Don’t have access to phone or email: If you don’t have access to both your phone number and email address, then it will be difficult to reset password and sign into your account again.
• Technical issues with Snapchat’s servers: Occasionally, there may be temporary outages or errors on Snapchat’s end. You should wait for some time and try again later.
• Snapchat Account locked: Snapchat might have temporarily locked your account if it detects unusual activity. You should read our guide on the same to unlock your Snapchat account.

So that wraps up this guide. Snapchat has already made it clear that you cannot reset the password if you forgot your registered email or don’t actively use the registered phone number handy. If you’re out of both, then you have a very slim chance of recovering your Snapchat account again. But there are ways for that, too.
