Snapchat’s breach of security, which compromised more than 8 million accounts, has brought the need for frequent password reset to the forefront. By changing your password periodically, you can minimize the chances of someone logging into your account without your permission. If everyone is ready to change their user details, here’s how to reset Snapchat’s password using email.

What will you need?

Before reading the instructions on how to reset Snapchat’s password, make sure you have the following information at hand.

• To reset your password, you must have your login information, including the previous password

• If the above details are not available, you should know the email ID you used when registering for the service and you should be able to access this email account.

If you cannot remember your current password and have been disconnected from your account, you will be asked to provide the identification of the email that was provided at the time of registration. Snapchat will send a password reset email to the account.

If for some reason you cannot access the inbox of this email ID or if you did not provide this information when registering for the service, Snapchat will not be able to reset your password.

How to reset Snapchat password?

Step 1: The Snapchat password reset page at https://support.snapchat.com/password-reset-request can be used to change your password or retrieve the existing password. On the page, you will be asked to provide the registered email ID. Simply enter this address and you will receive an email with instructions on how to reset Snapchat’s password.

Step 2: Choose a new password that has at least 8 characters and to improve security, make sure it cannot be easily linked with you. For example, using your birth date, initials or even the name of one of your parents will be too easy. Choose something that is random, that you will remember and, however, cannot be connected to you by all the people who even know you by chance.

Step 3: If you continue to experience problems or do not receive Snapchat’s instructional email, please contact them by mail at support@snapchat.me.

This is how Snapchat prescribes you to do things, but it is also possible to reset passwords on Snapchat using your unofficial Swapchat client. The Windows Phone app lists the ability to reset passwords among its key features and is definitely worth trying if you do not have an iPhone on hand. Of course, you can always use another device, mobile or not, which will allow you to log in to the Snapchat service page.

Ideally, you should restart your Snapchat password at least once a month. It usually does not take more than a few minutes to do it and it’s definitely worth it since most people also have their phone numbers in their Snapchat account data. If you remember the details of your registration, things can be simpler. All you have to do is log in to your account and change your username or password.
