How To Recover And Protect A Hacked TikTok Account

• Tap “Me” on the TikTok main page to access your profile.

• Tap the three-lines icon in the upper right corner and select “Security and Login.”

• Tap “Manage Devices.”

You’ll see a list of all the devices that are signed into your TikTok account right now. Besides the type of device, you can also see where they are and when they last logged in. Tap the devices you want to get rid of, then tap “Remove” to confirm.

If someone changed your password and you can’t get into your TikTok account, you can reset it with your phone number or email. This is only possible if your phone number or email address was linked to your account before it was hacked. Here’s what you need to do:

• Launch the TikTok app and tap “Sign Up.”

• Tap “Log In.”

• Select “Use phone/email/username.”

• Tap “Forgot password?”.

• Select the preferred password reset method – phone or email.

• If you chose email, look in your inbox for an email with a link to change your password. If you chose to reset your phone, you’ll get a message with the reset code, which you’ll need to enter in the TikTok app. Then, put your new password in the field that says “Password.”

Lastly, contact TikTok support for your TikTok account recovery if you haven’t linked your email or phone number or don’t have access to them. After you prove who you are, support agents may be able to help you get your account back. Remember that each case is different and that this isn’t always possible.

How to Protect Your TikTok Account From Getting Hacked

Accounts that have been hacked once are at a higher risk of getting hacked in the future. Thus, resetting your password isn’t sufficient. You should undertake certain steps to protect your account further from potential future hacks. If you’ve terminated any suspicious login sessions but haven’t changed your password, follow the steps below to do that:

• In the TikTok app, tap “Me,” then tap the three-lines icon in the top right corner.

• Select “Manage Account,” then “Password.”

• Enter your old password, then the new password, and confirm.

The next step is to link your phone number to your account. A phone number is safer than an email, as emails are easier to hack, especially if you use the same password for all your accounts. Follow the steps below:

• On TikTok’s main page, tap “Me.”

• Tap the three-lines icon located at the top right to access the menu.

• Select “Manage Account.”

• Tap “Phone Number.”

• Enter your phone number and wait for a message with a confirmation code.

• Enter the confirmation code into the dedicated field in the TikTok app.

FAQs

Why was I logged out of my TikTok account?

If another user attempts to delete an active device via the TikTok app settings, the app may force the user to log out of their account. If you have not given permission for this action to be taken, it is possible that your account has been hacked. Immediately after reading this, please go into your account settings and reset your password.

Can you use TikTok on two different devices at the same time?

There can be only one person logged into and making use of the account at any given time. If you use the same account to try to watch numerous LIVE videos at the same time, you will be kicked out of the LIVE Videos.

Can the same phone number/email be used for two different TikTok accounts?

Only one account can be associated with a given email address or phone number at any given time. Therefore, you are unable to use the same address or phone number for more than one profile. The only way around this limitation is to start a new account on another social media platform (like Twitter or Facebook) using the same email address or phone number that was previously used.

How Do I Create a Strong Password?

In the modern world, cyber security is very important. So, you need to know what a good password is. Here are some things to think about when coming up with a new TikTok password:

1. More words are better than less. If your password is at least 12 characters long, that’s even better.
2. Use capital letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and any special characters you want. Mix them up, like “qW12erTy56*$,” instead of using the standard “Qwerty12!”
3. Don’t use easy-to-remember passwords that are easy to guess. Don’t talk about your favorite band, your pet’s name, or your birthday.
4. Don’t use the same password for all of your accounts. If one of the accounts is hacked, the others will be, too.
5. Don’t use keyboard shortcuts that are easy to remember.

All accounts, not just TikTok, must follow these rules. You might also want to change other passwords that don’t fit these rules.

Should I Hire a Hacker to Get Back My Account?

Users sometimes think about hiring a hacker when their phone isn’t linked to their account. First of all, it’s illegal in many states. Second, you’re not sure what the hacker is trying to do. After breaking into your account, the person might not let you back in and instead try to blackmail you into giving them more money. Third, there is no difference between good hacking and bad hacking on social platforms. If they find out that someone broke into your account, they might close it for good. So, call TikTok’s customer service and wait.

How many TikTok accounts can you have?

Users are technically permitted to have three different accounts on the same device when using TikTok. The only way to have more than this is to use two distinct devices, such as your cell phone and your tablet. This is the only way to increase the amount of storage space available.
