Conclusion
What you should pay attention to. The postal address can be used when restoring access to the page (see.
The email linked to the account on the VKontakte social network exists in order to make life easier for some users who, for whatever reason, needed to change or even untie their phone number. Thus, the mail on the VK.com website is optional, but at least recommended for instructions for the possibility of emergency restoration of access.
Of course, as is the case with the phone number, sometimes it becomes necessary to change the linked e-mail address. Immediately, note that linking and changing E-Mail on the VK page is literally the same thing.
If you need to unlink e-mail from the page, regardless of the reasons that prompted you to do so, you will need to create a new e-mail box. This is due to the fact that if any E-Mail is already attached to the page, it is impossible to simply untie it, leaving the page without an email address.
In the process of unlinking mail, you need to be guided by common sense, which in particular concerns the impossibility of changing the E-mail address in the absence of a phone number attached to the page. That is, it is recommended that you refrain from any kind of manipulation with registration data in the form of changing your email address until your page is assigned a valid cell phone number to which you have access.
If you have any unforeseen problems with your registration data, you can contact the support service.
Change mail
Today, e-mail can be changed and, therefore, unlinked from the personal page, thanks to the use of specialized VKontakte settings.
- Go to your page and expand the main menu in the upper right part of the screen by clicking on your own profile avatar.
- Among the items presented, select the section "Settings".
- Switch to tab "General" via the navigation menu on the right side of the options window.
- Scroll the open page to the section "Email".
- Next to the found above item responsible for E-Mail, click the button "Change".
- In field "New address" enter your new valid e-mail.
- After you have specified a new valid mail, click the button "Save address" located directly below the input field.
- If you change your mind to change the address for some reason, the process can be canceled by clicking "Cancel" on the right side of the E-mail input field by refreshing the settings page or simply leaving this section.
In general, the parameters we need are located immediately on the main page of the settings of this social network.
Please note that if the link is successful, you will receive a notification about the change in registration data to the old address. A letter with a link confirming the link will be sent to the new mailbox.
When you try to specify a mail that is already used by someone or directly by you in this social network, you will receive a corresponding error.
Try not to forget the registration details of the mailbox you linked, as after the pinning process, it is an extremely important part of your personal profile.
To complete the process of unlinking old mail in social. network VKontakte, you must confirm the new address.
Before you confirm the activation of the new email address, you are given the opportunity to re-enter your old email address. At the same time, you will not need to go through the confirmation procedure, with the exception of anti-bot protection.
In fact, your email can already be considered modified, but it will not be valid until you go to your mailbox and manually confirm the binding.
In case of problems with the delivery of a letter with a confirmation code, click on the link "Resend email" under the notice posted in paragraph "Email".
If you untie E-Mail several times in a row, then there is no need to send the code to your phone. This is mandatory only during the first binding or when unbinding after a sufficiently long period of time after specifying the mail.
This completes the procedure for unlinking E-Mail.
Configuring notifications
It is worth noting that various notifications containing largely personal information, for example, messages sent to your account, will be sent to the E-Mail you specified. This, of course, can be abandoned, but only if absolutely necessary.
After all the settings are set by you, you can simply close this page or go to any other section of the social network. Parameters are applied automatically, immediately after their user change.
We wish you the best in unlinking and binding your E-mail.
From this instruction, you will learn how to unlink mail from VK using a computer and a mobile phone and how to link to a new e-mail box.
Ways to untie mail from VK
Before unlinking the old email address, make sure that the linked phone number, which must be indicated during registration, is active and you can use a SIM card. In case of unforeseen problems, you can restore access to your account only using the phone number to which an SMS message with a confirmation code is sent. Otherwise, the user will forever lose access to his own Vkontakte page.
From PC
To make changes to the profile, you must log in to the social network, click on the user's avatar in the upper right corner, select the "Settings" item in the drop-down menu. In the "General" tab, click on the "Change" button next to your valid email address.
Naturally, as a new address, you must specify a valid e-mail box to which the user has access. An email is sent to the old address with the notification that it is no longer linked to the account.
To confirm the actions, the user must enter in the next dialog box the confirmation code that comes in the notification to the linked mobile operator number - a five-digit code sent by the Vkontakte website from virtual numbers.
In case of malfunctions in the cellular network, sending the message can be requested again. The option of a free call from the Vkontakte robot is available. If all the actions are performed correctly, an email is sent to the new mailbox notifying that the address is now linked to your page.
The received letter does not contain a button or link to confirm the email address, as is often the case with such services. Confirmations are made using a mobile phone. This is somewhat inconvenient, as the user can make a mistake in the spelling of the address. In this case, you will have to make the changes again.
From a mobile device
When using a mobile browser on a smartphone or tablet (Google Chrome, Opera Mini or any other), the procedure does not differ from the above. The only difference is that the login is performed on the "stripped-down" mobile version. It is poorer in terms of design, but it does not load the device so much. All key site controls are located in the same place as described above.
When using the official application, the interface is different: some sections are arranged differently. To change the account settings, you need to tap on the main menu icon in the upper left corner and select the appropriate item. Linking and unlinking e-mail is available in the "Contact information" menu. To change the settings, you need to click the corresponding button. Further, the sequence of actions is the same as when using a browser on a computer.
Possible problems
It should be remembered that it will not work just to unlink the email from the account: the active mailbox is always changed with the binding of a new address. This is rather a plus: if configured correctly, the user will always receive notifications about important events related to his account.
Many users still use their email address to log into the site, although they have linked a phone number to their account. However, there is no difference if you do not log out on the social network, and the login is performed automatically using the password that the browser remembered.
The only problem that a user may encounter when unlinking an email address is a malfunction in the cellular network when the notification does not arrive on time. In this case, you should wait for the message to be received or request it to be sent again.
Perhaps you are one of those people who are afraid that their personal data on Vkontakte is being used without their permission. Or you are just tired of using VKontakte and you need to free your email address. In this article, I will tell you how to untie this or that email address from your page on VKontakte.
Before starting, I would like to say right away that it will not be possible to simply untie the address from the VKontakte page. True, if you don't care what email address you have on the page, and you need to untie this one, then this article is for you.
So let's get started. First of all, you will need to go to your VKontakte page. If you are not authorized on the site, then you will have to do this. Next, you need to go to the profile settings section. After updating the interface, this section was moved. Now, to open the settings, you need to click on your profile name in the upper right corner. After that, a drop-down list will appear, in it you will see the "Settings" item. Go to it:
After that, you will be directed to your profile settings page. Here, in the "General" section, you can see the main profile settings. Also, in the "Email" field, you can see the email address that is currently attached to the page:
As mentioned above, you can't just unlink email from the page. Instead, you will need to bind another mail. But if you don't care what mail will be linked to this page, you can even use one of the short-range e-mail services. You can find instructions for using these on the Internet.
Missing the moment of registering a new mail, we will assume that you already have a new email address, which you will link to the VKontakte page, instead of the old one.
If you suddenly doubt about your decision to change the address, you can do nothing further, or click on the "Cancel" button. It is worth noting that the new email address you link will be used to recover your password in case you forget it.
If you are still confident in your actions, then in the "New address" field, you will need to enter the email address that you want to bind, instead of the old one. This address must be valid and you must have access to this mailbox, as a confirmation code will be sent to it. Enter your new email address and click on the "Save Address" button:
Now, to verify your identity, the system will send a code to the phone number, which is also linked to this page. If you do not have access to this number, you can click on the "Change number" link and link another phone number:
Going back to the previous step, let's say you have access to a phone number. Now you have to click on the "Get Code" button. In the "Confirmation code" field that appears, enter the code that came to you in an SMS message and click the "Send code" button.
Situations vary, so it's important to be aware of all kinds of rules of conduct on popular social networks. This article will list several ways on how to untie a number from VK.
How to untie the number from the VK page? First of all, let us note the cases for which this is necessary.
- If you do not want the phone number to be "lit up" on the Internet, but you need to register several accounts or publics on different accounts.
- Unlinking the number is badly needed if you purchased a SIM card and want to get rid of the old card (you have access to it to VK), or the old SIM card is stolen or lost.
- You have 2 accounts on this social network, and you want to link this number to the second, deleting it from the first.
- It is recommended to untie the number before deleting the account, otherwise it will be listed in the social network database.
How to untie a number from a page in VK - working methods
Recall that according to the rules of the site, 1 registration of a Vkontakte account is possible for 1 number. This security measure was introduced to combat spammers, bots and cheating likes, subscriptions, etc.
Do you have a second account in the social network, registration of which was carried out before 2013, tied to an e-mail address? Then you can bind the phone number used on the second account in the social network to it by unlinking the first number. When you enter such an account (without binding your phone), the system will recommend binding, but this is your business.
From these rules of work, adopted by the administration of the site "Vkontakte", the following conclusions follow.
- "Unlinking" from the page of a phone number to which access has been lost (in case of loss, theft of a SIM card, etc.) is possible without any particular difficulties. Moreover, thanks to the official method, you will have to wait 2 weeks, and thanks to the risk and the unofficial method, you will have to wait only 24 hours.
- If there is 1 more account in the social network, then you can go to it by changing the phone number on the page that you need.
You can register a "temporary mobile number" in a special service, receive SMS from VK. To untie the number, you can replace the old number with a fictitious one. This, however, carries the risk of a lifetime page block. However, if the problem of how to untie the number from the page in VK arises before deleting it, so that there is no unnecessary information on the network about you, then it makes sense to use such a new method.
You have the opportunity to create a new page and fix the number that was on the old blocked page. When an SMS comes to your phone, the number is unlinked from the page that was blocked, and then it is linked to the clean, newly created battery.
The procedure itself will start from the “My Settings” page, in the “Phone No.” field.
VK administrators have a negative attitude to the mass transfer of phone number between several accounts. There are certain restrictions to prevent users from linking their phone to a new page every day.
Freeze the page
Acceleration of unlinking the phone number from the VK page is possible if you are not afraid that the account will be banned for a long time.
The method can be used because of the Vk bug, which was reported by one of the bloggers: when your page is frozen, the number associated with it is changed, and immediately it is “unfrozen”. The number will be untied from the page not after half a month, but a day after the application has been submitted.
First, you need to do some simple steps to “freeze” your page. On the wall in VK, indicate a link to any cheat exchange (google help), which will lead to a quick freeze of the page. A few seconds after publication, refresh your browser page and see that your VK page is frozen.
A button will appear at the bottom of the window: "Specify another phone number". Enter it after clicking on the button, then you will see "Get the code", then a message will be displayed that another phone number has been linked to this page and the question is whether you want to unlink.
Enter the code that was sent to your new number, create a password for the account and click on the "Unfreeze the page" button. The phone number listed on the page will be changed within 24 hours.
Such a trick (freezing - unfreezing akka) will make the process of pairing a new phone much faster, which is important in some situations.
If accounts with the same phone number are often banned, this can lead to the number being blacklisted, after which it will be impossible to register an account for it.
Link to email
If you link VK to the mail, then notifications of messages on the social network will begin to come to your email. This is sometimes important for those who conduct business negotiations through VK. All you need to do is go to your mailbox to view the text of messages and notifications.
Go to "Settings" in VK and select "Mail address". In this field, enter the address of your mailbox, click on "Save". You need to enter the password for your page and confirm it again. Then you should go to your mailbox and follow the link sent in the letter from VK to complete the linking of the account to the e-mail. After updating the page in VK, you will see that the link has been made.
How to untie a number from a blocked VK page?
If there is a need for the complete release of a phone number, you need a new SIM card or a SIM card for a grandmother, uncle, friend, girlfriend, etc., not tied to accounts on the VK social network. As a result, after the implementation of a simple procedure, you will become the owner of the account, which is assigned to the new phone number, and the old number will not be indicated anywhere.
Conclusion
If, as a result of one of the operations listed in the article, the page was deleted or blocked, write a letter to technical support, describing in detail your problem. If you register a new account, you may be faced with the fact that the specified number is tied to another page (if you have recently registered a new SIM card). A technical support representative will give you a step-by-step algorithm to deal with this situation.
