How to Reset Snapchat Password without Email

Snapchat is a multimedia messaging app primarily used for creating multimedia messages referred to as snaps which comprise of photos or short videos that can be edited to include filters and captions so as to make the photo or video more intriguing.

For security reasons Snapchat even offers an extensive approach of Two-Factor Authentication which is an optional feature but still a useful feature if someone is really concerned about the secrecy and misusage of an individual's account.

Now the question arises if one has to reset the password of Snapchat without using his email then the person should always keep his phone in hand because if you don't know the email or the phone number then it is impossible to reset the password after you have forgotten it. So the process to reset your password is as follows.

• To launch the Snapchat on the phone (iOS or Android), enter username and enter any random password.
• You will receive an error “That’s not the right password, Sorry!" With a link forgot your password.
• Tap on forgot password link.
• Choose the reset method to via phone instead of via email.
• Prove that you aren’t a robot and accomplish the task.
• Enter your phone number.
• You will receive a verification code on your phone via SMS or Call Me option.
• Enter the code.
• Reset your password and try to access again to your Snapchat account.

In short to reset the snapchat password you need at least one of the two verification forms associated with your account i.e email or phone number so that the verification code can be mailed or messaged to the users account for the resetting of password. The reason for this is the company policy of securing data and the authentication of the user so that the data may not fall in wrong hands.

Snapchat is basically storing all the information securely and there is no way of accessing the information until and unless a correct password has been entered because it uses an algorithm which decrypts a data when a correct password is entered.

Though it is extremely important to remember the email id or to keep the phone number that you enlisted in handy so that the verification code can be received when you are trying to retrieve the password or reset the password as for that matter. If someone doesn't possess these two (email or phone) then that person is surely out of luck.

Though if a user wants to try further then its best to log in to Snapchat support and select the following options:

1. I have a login issue
2. I cannot verify my information
3. Email
4. Still, need help? Yes
5. I didn’t receive the verification code

This would allow getting a contact form through which one can describe his problem to a representative. This may or may not solve a problem but is still worth a shot
