How to hide online VKontakte. Old page VKontakte: how to find, open, enter

They are surprised to learn that they cannot go to the pages where they used to go immediately without entering a password. There is nothing surprising here: the automatic password entry method was previously used due to the browser autosave function, and along with clearing the cache, cookies, previously entered data, etc. are cleared. Worst of all, if the password is forgotten ...

If you are also faced with the question “how to enter my VKontakte page without a password”, then this article is for you!

Recovery procedure via SMS

You can restore access to your VK page by clicking on the link "Forgot your password?" right below the registration form. There may be several options below:

• Specify your login on the network
• Enter your email used during registration
• Enter the mobile phone number associated with the account

We use the last option, because it is the most reliable and simple.

After entering the number and pressing the "Enter" button for security purposes (additional verification of account ownership), you will be prompted to enter your last name:

At the next stage, confirm that you are trying to access the page found using the specified data, and an SMS will be sent to your phone with a code that you need to enter in a special window:

Thus, you can change the forgotten or lost password from my Vkontakte page and. The new password will be sent to your phone again via SMS. It will need to be used at the entrance.

Restoring access to the page without a phone

If SMS does not come or you did not link your phone to your account in advance, then use this link:

Since few people remember it by heart due to uselessness, use the people search, indicating your first and last name, to find it:

After that, the system for security purposes will require you to confirm your identity:

Confirmation is possible only if there are photos with you in your account!

The "old phone number" field can be left empty, and in the "Available phone number" field, specify the one that will later be linked to your account. It should not be previously used when registering in this social network.

Press the "Next" button and you will be asked to take and upload your photo on the background of the monitor (tablet) with this page open:

But that's not all! At the next stage, you will need to upload a photo or scan of your passport (or other identification document), where the name, surname and photo will be clearly visible:

By submitting this application, you automatically agree that, upon its approval, the name and surname on the page can be changed to the real ones indicated in the document.

Your application will go to the moderator, who will carefully study it, change the password and help restore access to Vkontakte.

Outcome

It may seem to many that all the above precautions on the part of the system are redundant and will take you a lot of time. Yes, this is partly true ... But at the same time, this is required by safety rules. After all, you do not want anyone to be able to access your social network page :) And do not forget to remember passwords and always keep a copy of them in a place inaccessible to strangers!

The social network VKontakte is the most popular Internet site in Russia and the CIS. Tens of millions of people communicate daily on this social network. But many still have not become VK regulars and are now discovering this portal for themselves. And, as always, when getting acquainted with something new, novice users have a lot of questions. The functionality of VKontakte, the features of working with the site, important settings - all this can be quite difficult for a person who was not previously familiar with social networks. Next, we will try to exhaustively answer the most important questions that interest new users of the VK site.

Contact - computer login

In order to start using the VKontakte website, you need to go to https://vk.com. In the right column of the page, as shown in the screenshot, there is a field for registration. You must enter the following information in this field:

• first and last name (can be fake - VK does not approve of "fake", but does not prohibit);
• date of birth (same situation).

By clicking the "Continue registration" button, the user is prompted to specify the gender. After setting the appropriate mark (male or female), a new page opens. Here you need to enter a phone number. In a matter of seconds, this number will receive a message with a code that must be entered to confirm registration.

After entering the code, you should click the "Confirm" button, and the site will automatically redirect the user to his newly created profile. Registration completed.

So, after registration, a person enters the site automatically. Then he can fill out a questionnaire, use all the functions of the site. At the end of the session, you should click the "Logout" button in the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the page, as shown in the screenshot. On a personal computer, this may not be done, but if some other person has access to the PC, you need to exit manually. This will avoid the risk of disclosure of confidential information.

Sign out button

To enter the VKontakte website again, you need to go to https://vk.com and enter your registration data in the appropriate fields:

• phone number;
• password.

Important! Users who have registered before sometimes use an email address instead of a mobile number. Now this is no longer possible, so the text “Phone or email” can be considered irrelevant. New users are required to have a phone number.

How to log in from someone else's computer?

The VKontakte site can be safely used on someone else's computer. Away, at work, in a computer class, at the airport - there is nothing difficult to go to your page. The main thing at the same time is not to forget to check the box “Alien computer”, as in the screenshot.

If the checkbox was checked when entering the site, all confidential information will be securely stored. After leaving the site, the login and password in the browser will be automatically deleted, and another PC user will not be able to enter the same page, read personal correspondence, or do any harm. When opening the VK site, another user will see a prompt to enter their own phone number and password.

How to enter the full (computer) version of the site?

The address https://vk.com is the full version of the site. By clicking on this link, a person gets to the computer version of VKontakte and can use all the functions of the social network in full.

In addition to the computer version, there is also a mobile one, as well as several convenient official applications for different operating systems (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.). From a computer, it is best to use the full version: it does not “eat up” traffic, loads quickly and does not freeze even on weak machines.

How to enter VK from a mobile phone?

A user who wants to visit VKontakte from a mobile phone has 2 options to choose from:

• open the site https://m.vk.com in the browser - this is a light version of VK that retains all the main functions;
• install a free app from the app store for his gadget.

You do not need to search for the application yourself: when you enter https://m.vk.com, a link with the text "Install the application" will appear. By clicking on the link, a person gets to the page of the current version of the application for his device. The application interface is very similar to the mobile version of the site, but it works a little faster, because it is optimized for a specific OS and phone/tablet model.

What should I do if the username and password do not match?

When entering the site, it may turn out that the registration data is entered incorrectly. The first thing to do in such a situation is to make sure that the username and password were entered without errors. Tips given by the site itself (they are visible in the screenshot) can help. Sometimes it’s really a matter of a clamped “caps lock”, an incorrect layout, or a banal typo when entering a complex combination. Check everything and try again - this is the first and main step.

If this does not help, then the user has forgotten his registration data. In this case, click on the "click here" link. A window for restoring access to the VKontakte profile will open. There are 2 options to choose from here:

• recover password by phone number (only the number used during registration is suitable);
• restore access to your account by contacting the site support service.

This screenshot shows the access page interface. After entering the phone number, you will also need to write the last name of the registered page (not your real one, but exactly the same as in the VK profile).

The site will automatically show the name and avatar of this page, after which it remains only to click on the “Yes, this is the right page” button, receive a confirmation code on your phone and continue using the social network.

Can I enter the page without knowing the username and password?

So, password recovery is easy if you have a phone number. But there are 2 situations when the method described above does not work:

• if the user lost the SIM card or phone;
• if someone hacked the page and changed all the data (that is, both the password and the phone number).

If you don't have the SIM card you registered with, you won't be able to recover your password. You will have to contact VKontakte technical support to regain access to your profile.

To contact technical support, click on the "Click here" link, as in the screenshot. Next, the user will be prompted to enter the address of the page to which they want to restore access. Another option is to find the page through a search.

After that, the following window will open, where you will be prompted to enter:

• the phone number to which the page is registered;
• any available phone number (you need it not to be tied to any VKontakte page);
• password (not necessarily the last one, just any one ever used).

After entering the code, a window with instructions will appear. Everything is very clear here, but it will take some time. First, the support agent needs a photo of the user against the background of the current page (the one in the screenshot). Secondly, you need a scan or a high-quality photo of your passport, driver's license, or any other document that contains your first name, last name, and photo. If both photos match, the support agent will unlock the page. But you have to wait for his answer. Time varies - most often from 2 hours to 2 days.

Important! The support service will not help if the VKontakte profile contains a fake first and last name. This is the only case where data authenticity really matters. Deciding to specify "fake" data, the user takes away the opportunity to regain access to the page in case of complete loss.

What to do if the page is "frozen"?

"Freezing" of VKontakte pages is an automatic method of dealing with spam, bot mailings and other unwanted things. But sometimes it happens that an absolutely real user falls under the “freeze”. Most often this happens if a person sent some links to his friends, made too many likes and reposts. In addition, pages are usually frozen when hacking attempts are not very successful.

When you try to enter the site, a message appears stating that the page has been “frozen”. Restoring access is very easy - the already familiar procedure for entering the number to which the VK profile is registered and receiving the code via SMS will help. If the code is entered correctly, all that remains is to enter the site using the phone number and password. But the password, most likely, will have to be changed immediately in order to avoid a second hacking attempt.

What should I do if my page is blocked?

- a much more serious case than "freezing". If the page was banned, it means that the user violated the rules of the site, and they complained about him to technical support. Blocking can be of 2 types:

• temporary (until a certain date);
• permanent (forever).

It is impossible to bypass the blocking. You can only try to appeal it - VKontakte immediately offers to contact support. But the removal of the ban can only be claimed if the blocking occurred by mistake. For example, the page was hacked and after that the rules of the site were violated, and the original owner of the profile was not to blame for anything.

If the user himself is to blame for the blocking, then he has 2 options:

• in case of temporary blocking, wait until its term expires;
• in the case of a permanent one (or if you don't want to wait), create a new page.

When I try to log in, VK writes that "The web page is not available." What to do?

Many users are faced with the inability to access VKontakte. The site itself works stably and flawlessly, short failures happen no more than once a year. Therefore, if VK suddenly turned out to be unavailable, you need to look for the reason at home.

The most common reasons for this phenomenon:

• ban at the state level (as, for example, in Ukraine since June 2017);
• a ban on the use of social networks in the workplace;
• the most banal - problems with access to the Internet.

If VKontakte has been banned by the state, you can bypass the blocking by installing a VPN client. In Russia, it is also necessary, because Roskomnadzor blocks access to certain groups and public pages, and you can get there only from a foreign IP address. VPN clients are both paid and free. One of the more convenient free options is the FriGate browser extension. This extension automatically changes the user's IP address to a foreign one and thus allows him to bypass the blocking of VKontakte.

If the evil employer has blocked VK so that employees do not shirk from work, the method of solving the problem remains the same. Usually certain IP addresses are blocked, and as soon as you install FriGate or any other extension, the blocking disappears without a trace.

What functions does my VK page have?

The VKontakte profile is a very multifunctional thing. Without exaggeration, this is a lifetime on a computer or mobile phone display. The screenshot shows a list of the main functions of the page, but the possibilities of a registered user are by no means limited to this list.

The key functionality of the VK page is as follows:

• instant exchange of text and audio messages without restrictions (except for the privacy settings of individual users);
• listening to music, viewing photo and video materials;
• reading news and other content in groups and on public pages;
• creating your own groups and public pages in order to share your own creativity or interesting information;
• forwarding text (and not only) documents;
• sending and receiving money directly through private messages;
• flash games, tests, useful applications.

This is just the beginning of the list of VKontakte features. To fully explore it, you need to explore the site yourself. Among other things, VK is the largest information platform where you can find more relevant and interesting information than in any online news publication.

What is an avatar? How to change it?

An avatar is a photo or image in a VKontakte user profile. By default, immediately after registration, there is no avatar on the page. To install it, you need to move the mouse cursor over the place for the photo, as shown in the screenshot, and select the "Update photo" option from the pop-up menu. Next, you will be prompted to upload the finished image from the hard drive or take a photo on the webcam.

After the avatar is set, you can change its thumbnail (a small section of the image displayed next to the profile name), as well as add various effects through the built-in photo editor. You can change the avatar with any frequency an infinite number of times.

Can I see what my page looks like from the outside?

There are 2 options to look at your page from the side:

1. Copy the page address, exit the VK profile, then follow the link. Then the page will be displayed as it is seen by unregistered users. But in the privacy settings, it should be indicated that the page is visible to everyone (as in the screenshot).
2. Use the third-person view of the page. This feature is also located in the privacy settings (at the very bottom of the screenshot). By clicking on the link, you can view the page on behalf of a random VKontakte user.

We go to "Settings"

Then "Privacy"

Then "See how other users see your page"

When viewing a third-person profile, it will be possible to select a specific user. Either one of the friends, or a person found through the search. After all, often, depending on the privacy settings, friends see more than strangers. Comparing a profile view from a friend's perspective to that of a stranger is a good idea if the user is concerned about their privacy.

How can I find out detailed information about my VK page?

You can view detailed information about your profile in the "Page Statistics" section. A small part of the information available in this section is shown in the screenshot. But in order for this section to become available, you must have at least 100 subscribers (friends do not count). Some for these purposes “wind up” free bots, but such a trick looks rather ugly. However, if you really want to - who forbids?

Important! There are also numerous Internet sites that allow you to view detailed and hidden data of both your page and any other. These sites offer a lot of interesting information, but you need to be careful with them. There is a risk of stumbling upon scammers who will try to intercept the password of the page and, accordingly, hack it.

How to close the page from strangers?

It is very easy to hide your profile from prying eyes. Everything is set up in just a couple of minutes. You just need to go to the settings of the VKontakte site, select the "Privacy" section and restrict access to others. In most rows, you can select the “Only me” option, which will mean that no one except the owner of the page will see his date of birth, photo albums, music playlist, friends list and much more.

Go to "Settings"

Then "Privacy"

At the bottom of the "Privacy" section, you can also turn off the visibility of updates. It is enough to uncheck the boxes next to each item in the drop-down list so that friends, and even more so strangers, cannot see new uploaded photos, videos, music compositions, as well as new friends of the page owner.

What is a public page? How to create it?

A public page is a page on which a user can post any content, ranging from memes from the Internet to literary works of their own composition. The difference between a group and a public page is that a group is primarily a "circle of interests", a place for saving and sharing content, and the so-called "public" is a platform for promotion and development. A user who wants to declare himself should create a public page.

In order to create a "public", you must:

After that, the page will be created, and the user will be taken to its settings (shown in the screenshot). In the future, you can customize the "public" according to your preferences.

Block "Interesting pages". Why is it needed? How to remove it?

VKontakte is primarily a social network, and it is customary to get acquainted in it. Therefore, for each new user (and often not a new one, if he is passive enough), the site offers the “Interesting Pages” block. It appears in the News section and is a mini-collage of avatars and names of several popular profiles. It is assumed that the user will want to add these profiles to the list of friends or at least subscribe to them.

This block is practically useless, but it is quite difficult to remove it. If you click on the "cross", then "Interesting pages" will disappear only for a while, after which they will appear again. To get rid of the annoying block once and for all, you need to join several interesting groups, subscribe to public pages, add a few friends. This will populate the "News" section, and the need to display "Interesting Pages" will disappear. The site will simply stop showing them.

Why can't I leave comments on posts?

Any VKontakte user can comment on the posts of other users, as well as groups and public pages. If there is no field for entering comments, this can only mean one thing: the owner of the page has prohibited the addition of comments in the privacy settings.

Important! The owner of the group or "public" can also. But in this case, a person will not only be able to leave comments, but also view the entries themselves.

Do employers look at the VKontakte page of a future employee?

Unfortunately yes. Before hiring a person, the boss very often finds a future subordinate on VKontakte and scrupulously studies his page. In this situation, the indication of a fake name and surname saves - the future boss will not be able to find a new employee and will not make hasty negative conclusions based on a couple of saved pictures. As you can see, the "fake" name has not only disadvantages, but also undeniable advantages.

Conclusion

VKontakte is a social network with an intuitive interface. The questions described above sometimes arise for new users, but are easily and quickly resolved. Already a few hours after registration, a beginner will be able to get used to VK and find a lot of interesting things for his development and entertainment.

In a contact, My page is the main place in which all information about you is displayed. This page contains your avatar (main photo), your data: first name, last name, age, place of residence, work, study, etc. Also here you can see your photos, videos and news published by you. You fill in all the information yourself. How to go to your page, see below in the article.

After that, the VKontakte server closes the online session, while not knocking it out of the account.

In this state, it is quite possible to view posts and other news, and you can even reply to them and comment, listen to music, set, etc., but it is not recommended to go to your own or someone else's page, otherwise there is a great opportunity to be in an online session.

This mode is extremely simple and effective. A characteristic minus is that it is impossible to access users, even when it is very necessary.

ApiDog and VKlife - VKontakte invisibility feature

The next method to be invisible in VK involves the installation of Special programs, which today can be found on the network in a rather grandiose amount. The most popular of the famous programs for this purpose are VkLife and ApiDog. The most basic advantage of the programs is that with the full use of Vkontakte, your account does not get online.

Downloading and installing the programs is extremely simple, it will take a maximum of 5-7 minutes. time.

How to enter VK and not be online from your phone

Is it possible on an Android smartphone to make the “Invisible” mode in VK in order to be present on the site but be offline at the same time?

Yes. It is quite possible to do this with the help of an unofficial function of the VK mobile application. In order to activate the invisibility mode of Vkontakte on an Android device, you will need to take the following steps:

Vkontakte stealth mode on Android

First, let's download the official mobile client. It is quite possible to download the Vkontakte application for free from the Play Store via a direct link.

After installation, launch the application. After starting the program, go to "Options". In the options tab, go to the "About" section.

A window will be formed where you need to press (tap) on the illustration of the dog 3 times. After that, nothing will change on the screen. Close the application "Vkontakte for Android". Now you need to go to the "dialer" of your phone and dial the following combination of numbers and symbols: *#*#856682583#*#*. This formula will help you hide online VKontakte.

After typing, without clicking on the call button, a window should appear for setting hidden features for the VK application.

In the window that opens, make a mark on the item "Invisible".

Is it possible to log in from the phone in the status as from a computer?

Now we will look at how to enter VKontakte not in phone status.

If you go to the site through a browser and at the same time through the full version of the Vkontakte site, and not the mobile one, then for sure, just a circle will be shown next to you, and not the image of the phone.

To do this, it is also better to go online through a “proxy server”. So, in fact, “hackers” act so that the real IP address is not determined, the presence on the network is hidden.

Similarly, you can log in to VK from your phone as from a computer.

How to hide online VKontakte 2018

In this article, we examined in detail how to hide the online status from a computer and phone on the version of the VKontakte website, which will be valid in 2017-2018. At the same time, do not forget that there are programs that limit this process, using which you can be seen.

Good day to all, my dear friends. With you, as usual, Dmitry Kostin. Please tell me, are you? If so, then you probably know that when you are on this site, then the inscription “Online” will hang opposite your name. This icon notifies other users that you are currently online and ready to chat.

But there are times when you need to enter a site so that no one knows about your presence there. This can be for various reasons: maybe you don’t want an annoying girl to see you, or an annoying boss didn’t see that you are using social networks instead of work, etc. What then to do in such cases? Never mind. Just take it easy... I'm kidding. Would I write a separate article to make you put up with it? Of course not.

But before we move on to the main thing, I would like to briefly tell everyone who needs to promote their Vkontakte groups about a wonderful and really working online PR service. The service has been providing services for promoting Vkontakte groups for more than a year and has been doing it very successfully. social like - will help to attract targeted subscribers to your groups, friends to personal pages, likes for posts and much more. We use friends.

Well, now back to the article. I will tell you one way how to get in touch invisible. The method is good and time-tested, so you can try. Ready? Then let's go!

If in doubt, try logging in with any other browser, just make sure you are not in your account mode in that browser. Let's show. I logged into the Firefox browser and typed my id in the address bar (you can have numbers or the name that you set in the settings).

Please note that no online mode is lit, but on the contrary it is shown when I last logged in. Although at the same time I am in contact through apidog and calmly do what I need.

Why is this method better than others?

• You do not need to set up, shovel or wait to enter the network
• You can climb any pages, while other methods say that you cannot go to your own page or the page of other users, otherwise everything will be reset (you can only watch photos, videos, news, climb groups, etc.).

ADVICE! When you have finished climbing in incognito mode, then go to the site in normal mode through a regular browser and change the password out of harm's way. This is a third party site after all. So far, there have been no complaints, but still it is better to play it safe.

Well, in general, I wanted to offer you such a simple way of anonymous login. Perhaps you have some other way that is even easier and better than the one described here. Please share your thoughts in the comments.

By the way, if you like to sit on social networks, then you can try your hand at making money on the administration of groups in contact. You can learn this at special training, thanks to which you can learn an excellent Internet profession in 2 months. In addition to VKontakte, you can master many other Internet professions. See for yourself this wide selection.

Well, this concludes my lesson. I hope that my materials will be useful to you, so subscribe to updates of my blog articles to always be aware of new useful articles, selected to your liking. I will not spam. Promise).

Well, I say goodbye to you. Perhaps you will be interested in seeing other articles on my blog, so do not be shy. Good luck with your contact. Bye Bye!

Sincerely, Dmitry Kostin
