How to recover ICQ password?

In today's world it is difficult to imagine life without communication, including communication via the Internet. For this, there is not only the well-known “Contact” or “My World”, but also Agent and ICQ. However, situations often arise when a person forgets his password, his account is hacked or a failure occurs. How can I recover my ICQ password so as not to lose contact with my friends?

First of all, we note that if suddenly the combination has ceased to fit your ICQ number, you need to urgently scan the entire computer for viruses with a good modern anti-virus program with updated databases. There are viruses that can "steal" a password, change it and communicate information to third parties. Therefore, there may be a risk that combinations from your electronic wallets, accounts on sites and so on fall into the wrong hands. You should quickly protect yourself and your information.

Password recovery

To recover the ICQ password, you need to go to the official website and select the "Forgot Password" item. You will be asked to enter the ICQ number, email or phone number for the account in the field from which you need to restore the login combination, and also confirm that you are not a robot. It is also possible to enter the recovery page directly from the ICQ program by selecting the link “Forgot password” under the field for entering a combination. Here you can recover the password from ICQ. If the account number was entered correctly, a window will appear where you will be asked to check the email address that you specified when registering in the ICQ system. Directly from this window, you can click the "Go to Mail" button.

An e-mail will be sent to you with further instructions on how to reset your ICQ password . You will need to follow the link indicated in the letter or, if the link does not work, copy it to the address bar of the browser you are using. It should be noted that the link expires within a short period of time, so do not postpone password recovery until later. The whole procedure will take you no more than a few minutes. If suddenly the letter does not come to your mailbox for a long time, wait a while and send the request to change the combination again. Sometimes letters to e-mails in the Mail.ru system can arrive within an hour. A letter to the Yandex mailbox arrives within a couple of minutes. So that you can exactly remember the email that you used to register your ICQ account, the first letter of the address and the system will be marked on the page, for example, it will look like this: "j****@yandex.ru". It is hoped that the combination to enter the email was also not forgotten.

After clicking on the link, a window will open called “Password Recovery”, where you will be asked to enter and repeat the new ICQ combination. Recovering the password if you remember the mail to which the account was registered is quite simple. Now it remains only to introduce a new combination. It is best to choose a combination of no more than 8 characters, which will contain the letters of the Latin alphabet and numbers. A combination of an arbitrary set of letters and numbers is much more difficult to crack, however, remembering it is also not so simple. Therefore, do not forget to write it down just in case, so that there is no need to restore the password again.

If the new password is entered twice, click on the “Finish” button. New password saved. Now you can again enter the ICQ program and chat with friends. Recovering an ICQ password is quite simple. But it’s best to change it periodically so that no one can crack the combination to enter ICQ and deprive you of the opportunity to exchange the latest news and talk with those who are so far away from you.
