How to login to Snapchat if you lost your phone number
Find out what you have to do if you lost your phone which is verified by Snapchat. You can login on your Snapchat account with different device or phone (iOS or android).
Snapchatters often experienced problem when they lost their phone along with the number which verified by Snapchat. When they want to log in using another device, Snapchat will send the login verification that will be only sent to the verified devices. This only happen if you enable the Login Verification with SMS. After enabling the Login Verification, you will have the option to verify additional devices and/or request a Recovery Code.
Then how to get those verification although you have lost the phone number along with the phone itself?
How to login to Snapchat if you lost your phone number
Snapchat support’s page explain that you can only login with your password on a device you’ve verified with Login Verification. If one of your verified devices gets lost or stolen, you can forget a device you’ve verified to enable login from another device.
- Launch your Snapchat app.
- Make sure you have the Recovery Code that you got when you enable the Login Verification. Use this Recovery Code to log in.
- tap at the top of your Camera screen
- Tap on the Profile screen
- Tap ‘Login Verification’ under the ‘My Account’ section
- Select ‘Forget Devices’
- Select which verified device(s) you’d like Snapchat to forget and then tap ‘Forget Devices’
Please Note: This only work if you have more than one verified device or you have the Recovery Code. If you’d like to use a device you’ve forgotten with Login Verification in the future, you will need to re-verify the device.
To prevent the same thing happens in the future, we recommend you to install an authentication app on your device. By using authentication apps like Google Authenticator or Duo, the apps can generate a verification code even if you lost your phone and phone number. After install the authentication app, launch your Snapchat app, and go to Settings –> Login Verification and enable ‘Authentication App.’
I lost my phone and I can’t login to my snapchat without the recovery code which is sent to ma phone # plz what should I do? is there anyway I can login to the sanpchat again by using an email or another phone number??
‘
Did u find a way to fix that?
same prob here. I wish snapchat would provide another channel thru which we can get our orig accounts.
I cant log in and I have a different # so I don’t have access to my log in verification code
you need to have the same number when sign up to snapchat
I changed my # so I can’t not get in at all
i’m afraid you will need to create a new one
Another way can be simply calling the owner of your life phone #. Explain it’s not a scam and you’re really just trying to get your Snapchat verified which you can only do this way.

I deleted the snapchat app and then reinstalled it to balance out my storage on my phone. I tried logging in but it won’t let me log in without the verification code. I am currently out of town and I don’t have access to texting and only able to send imessages and emails. I don’t have the verification code that was sent to me when I first got my snap account. Is there any way to log in to my account without a verification code? Like is it possible to send a verification code to my email that is linked to my snapchat?

Did you ever get in!

The problem is with getting a new phone and new number that isnt reqistered to snapchat account. Can we get a verification code sent to our email since we cant access the old phone number to which the verification is being sent.
It’s so annoying, my phone broke and now I can’t log into snapchat since I can’t find the SIM either. I didn’t set up a recovery code.
i think you need to create a new account
im in the same boat 🤬. i changed my number like two months ago and nobody has my number yet . im so furious . i had to create a new username and it sucks that i have to start all over
I don’t understand why you can’t just send it by email! I’m having the same problem. I got my phone stolen so I can’t get in contact with anyone so I’m using my iPad but it keeps sending the code to my phone… Which I obviously can’t see. Doing it by email would be so much more smart because of how universal it is and how u can see your email from any device. I’m honestly so mad and thought that snapchat would be smarter than to do something so stupid. When u think about it the only reason u would be logging into ur snapchat on another device is if u didn’t have ur phone so why would u make the only way to log in is by ur phone number… Way to go snapchat👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If anyone has a solution I would highly appreciate it. It’s bad enough of a week getting my phone stolen I’m not trying to have to make a new snapchat.
I sold my phone with the number linked to my Snapchat account. I tried logging in on my new phone with my new number but Snapchat keeps sending the code to my old phone number. I do not remember making a “recovery code” for my account. Somebody help me find a way to log in
I’m in the same boat as you’re…it’s sad.
My camera was not working so I deleted my snapchat and I cant login because it sends a verification code to my number and I did not pay my plan and I cant afford to pay it what do I do?? How do I get a recovery code
When I click via email it asks me my email address and the says that I should check my phone number they have send me a code but I don’t have my phone number ……

Same problem with me I got a new phone and my Snapchat is currently set up with my old number which is no longer with me and I can’t login to Snapchat without a verification code help!!
ive had my snapchat since 2014 I DO NOTT wanna make a new one but since my phone is broken, and got a iPhone snapchat doesn’t recognize that its me but I cant have a code sent to me because its a different number.. I cant have it emailed to me because its an old email 🙁 which on top of that I cant even get into my old email because of the same problem, it doesn’t recognize the new device! its very irritating and sad. I refuse to let my memories of all these years just disappear forever.
Seem how we are all having the same problems new phone number and cant get access to the old account I’m so mad that Snapchat Support can’t help with this either if there is anyone out there that can help with this problem please let us know
I lose my phone and I change # I remembered my email and My password but I can’t open may snap if I don’t have code #
what did you change?
I had someone ask me to send them nudes and then received a Snapchat verification code from this number +1 (346) 348-2800
Ive never had Snapchat.
I also received a couple texts concerning a credit and debit card that aren’t mine.
Any suggestions on investigating the issue?
just ignore them
I upgraded my iPhone and changes my number, I know my email address and password to my account however I can’t sign in to my account without getting the verification code which is being sent to my old phone number. If the phone number is the only way to get a code then that is absolutely 100% STUPID! Most sites ask for an email and phone number because both methods are suppose to be options for recovery. Is there anyone can help me? Or is Snapchat really that stupid and unreasonable
it called Two-Factor Authentication, it is an optional feature that adds another level of protection to your Snapchat account, making it even more secure. You can reset your password by using your email. When Two-Factor Authentication is turned on and you login from an unknown device, you will be asked to enter your secret code.

Hi

i had this problem but with a verification app. i cant get to it now that my phone broke and i didnt have any recovery codes.
I was sent a message that my account was being logged into by someone else. I changed my password and 3 different verification codes were sent over text to me. When I went to log in on the app on my phone, I was successful in getting past my username and password, but it asked me for a verification code from an app, which I’ve never set up an app so I tried putting in the 3 different codes that were sent to me before over text and none of them are working. I even tried shutting my phone and down and restarting to see if a new one would be sent but it didn’t.
I lost my phone and don’t remember my password Can’t verify my Snapchat because I don’t have the same phone number or email on my new phone😫😫😫😫
