ICQ password recovery is a very important and useful procedure, specially created and provided by developers in order to help users regain control of their account. There are various reasons that can encourage a user to follow a course of action in order to resume control of their account.
The most common reason that leads users to become interested in how password recovery occurs in ICQ is to forget it. This is facilitated by the automatic login function , in which there is no need to re-enter your data each time. Thus, if the input information does not have clear associative bindings, then most likely, after a short time, it will simply be forgotten.
In order for ICQ password recovery to be successful, there are two ways to use it. The use of one or another method depends on the time when the registration was carried out. One way involves knowing the answers to the secret questions indicated when registering your data, and the second is based on the use of an electronic mailbox.
If the user does not remember the answers and cannot access the mail, then it will be impossible to recover the ICQ password. Such situations arise when, for various reasons (hacking, long period of inactivity of the mailbox, etc.), control over e-mail cannot be returned. It should be noted that if at the beginning of use secret questions were tied to the account and an email address was specified, then even without knowing the answers, you can regain control of the account.
So, if the user has saved all the necessary data of his registration mailbox, then recovering the ICQ password will be easy and simple. To do this, go to the official website of the program or run the ICQ client installed on the computer, where you need to select the “forgot password” option. As a result, the user will be moved to a special page. There he will be asked to enter his ICQ number (uin) or registration address of the mail. Specifying the necessary information and confirming that the actions were performed by a person (you will need to enter captcha), the user will only have to activate the link, which will be sent to him by e-mail in a letter from the ICQ team.
By clicking on the link from the letter, you will need to enter and confirm a new password. After that, you can again freely use the services of one of the most popular communication applications. However, one should take into account the mistakes made and save their data reliably so as not to repeat the same procedure in the future.
Thus, password recovery in ICQ is very fast and, most importantly, simple. Understanding the procedure itself will not be difficult even for a novice PC user. This eliminates the need to register again. Having regained control over the account, you can enjoy communicating with loved ones, since the contact list will remain unchanged, and all information in it, with the exception of the message archive, will be saved.
